This section contains instructions for using the SharePlex uninstallation program to remove SharePlex from a system. The uninstaller permanently removes the replication environment from the system.
To preserve the replication environment, including the queues that store the data, you can install a SharePlex upgrade or reinstall the current version, rather than uninstall SharePlex. Before you upgrade or reinstall SharePlex, see the Release Notes for the version you are installing to determine if there are any special upgrade or installation requirements.
Perform the following steps to remove SharePlex from Unix or Linux platforms:
Issue the shutdown command to shut down SharePlex.
sp_ctrl> shutdown
Use the following command to make certain that no SharePlex processes are running.
# ps -ef | grep sp_
Note: If there are multiple installations, do not remove the hidden directory.
Note: If desired, remove any objects that SharePlex installs in the database. These objects begin with SHAREPLEX_ or shareplex_. You can remove any such objects using standard SQL commands.
Important!
Points to remember when removing the SharePlex objects from the PostgreSQL database:

The use of additional command line options when installing SharePlex is usually not necessary. These options are typically employed when working with Support to resolve specific issues.
The installer command line options and their descriptions follow:
USAGE
tpm [<options>] [ [<package> | <location>] ... ]
OPTIONS
-v, --verbose Turns verbose mode on
-h, -?, --help Prints out this message
--debug Starts the interactive debugger
--info Print information about installed
packages
--install Perform product installation
--remove Perform product deinstallation
--commit Commit last installation
--revert Revert last installation
-t, --tmp <directory> Temporary directory location
-d, --directory <directory> Working directory
-f, --force Unconditionally update existing files
--no-cleanup Do not perform cleanup on failure
--nocleanup Same as --no-cleanup, for compatibility
--list List the content of the archive
--extract Extract the archive into the current directory
-r, --responses <yaml file> Use the responses from a specified file
-D, --defaults Accept default answers
-l, --log Leave the installation log file
DESCRIPTION
Provides package management facilities. Packages can be installed, removed, reverted or committed. The utility also figures out its role based on the command name of its invocation path. For example, "tpm-install" is treated as "tpm --install", "tpm-remove" as "tpm --remove", etc.
It can also be invoked as part of a self extracting package invocation, in which case it is treated as "tpm --install".
Note: All command line options for the .tpm file are preceded by two dashes.
You can install SharePlex as a root user. When you install as a root user, the installer prompts you to select whether or not to create the SharePlex user groups. When the installer creates the groups, it adds the SharePlex Administrator user to the spadmin group. For more information about these groups, see Assign SharePlex Users to Security Groups.
In a cluster, the installer adds the SharePlex groups to the primary node, but you must add them to the other nodes yourself.
Additionally, see Network checklist for instructions on adding the groups to a nameserver.
To install as root:
Copy the SharePlex installer file to a temporary directory where you have write permissions. The installer file has a naming format of:
SharePlex-release#-platform.tpm
Change the permissions of the file as follows:
# chmod 555 SharePlex-release#-platform.tpm
