28.6 Uninstalling the Identity Reporting Components

You must uninstall the Identity Reporting components in the following order:

  1. Delete the drivers. For more information, see Deleting the Reporting Drivers.

  2. Delete Identity Reporting. For more information, see Uninstalling Identity Reporting.

  3. Delete Sentinel. For more information, see Uninstalling Sentinel Log Management for IGA in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Linux.

NOTE:To conserve disk space, the installation programs for Identity Reporting do not install a Java virtual machine (JVM). Therefore, to uninstall one or more components, ensure that you have a JVM available and also make sure that the JVM is in the PATH. If you encounter an error during an uninstallation, add the location of a JVM to the local PATH environment variable, then run the uninstallation program again.

    • Designer: For each driver, right-click the driver line, then click Live > Stop Driver.

    • iManager: On the Driver Set Overview page, click the upper right corner of each driver image, then click Stop Driver.

  2. Delete the drivers. Depending on the component that you use, complete one of the following actions:

28.6.2 Uninstalling Identity Reporting

Before deleting Identity Reporting, ensure you have deleted the Data Collection and Managed System Gateway drivers. For more information, see Deleting the Reporting Drivers.

IMPORTANT:Before running the Identity Reporting uninstallation program, ensure you copied your generated reports from the Reporting installation directory to another location on your computer because the uninstallation process removes all the files and folders from the directory where Reporting was installed. For example, the Reporting installation folder C:\NetIQ\idm\apps\IDMReporting.

To uninstall Identity Reporting, use the Control Panel utility for adding and removing programs. For example, on Windows Server 2012 R2, click Programs and Features. Right-click Identity Reporting, then click Uninstall.
