How to uninstall SAP ASE – Sybase 16 from linux

In this post, I am going to demonstrate step by step approach to remove SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise ( Sybase ) 16 from Linux host.

As a part of prerequisites kindly Stop all ASE services before instantiate uninstall.

Login as SYBASE user in order to uninstall sybase:

[root@Centsrv01 ASESuite]# su - sybase

Change directory to ‘/opt/sybase/sybuninstall/ASESuite’ and instantiate ‘uninstall’ as below. And follow the instruction and provide the inputs as needed in order to remove SAP ASE.

Uninstallation logs are as follows:

-bash-4.1$ cd /opt/sybase/sybuninstall/ASESuite
-bash-4.1$ ./uninstall

Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead...

===============================================================================
Uninstall Complete
------------------

Some items could not be removed.

-bash-4.1$

Note:

Remove additional files manually that you have created or modified after Sybase installation.

In my case, I have created “sybase” directory in /var/ and /opt/.

 -bash-4.1$ cd /opt/
 -bash-4.1$ rm -rf sybase/
 -bash-4.1$ cd /var/
 -bash-4.1$ rm -rf sybase/

 

Congratulations! SAP ASE is now completely removed from Linux host.

Thanks,

Stay Tune. 🙂
