Removing and Moving OpenIDM Software

This chapter shows you how to uninstall OpenIDM software and to move an existing install to a different location.

To Remove OpenIDM Software

  1. (Optional) Stop OpenIDM services if they are running, as described in "To Stop the OpenIDM Services".

  2. Remove the file system directory where you installed OpenIDM software:

    $ rm -rf /path/to/openidm

  3. (Optional) If you use a JDBC database for the internal repository, you can drop the openidm database.

To Move OpenIDM Software

If you want to move OpenIDM to a different directory, you do not have to uninstall and reinstall. To move an existing OpenIDM instance, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down OpenIDM, as described in "To Stop the OpenIDM Services".

  2. Remove the felix-cache directory:

    $ cd path/to/openidm
$ rm -rf felix-cache

  3. Move the files:

    $ mv path/to/openidm path/to/new-openidm

  4. Start OpenIDM in the new location:

    $ cd path/to/new-openidm
$ ./startup.sh
