Dear All,
I got AIX server with MQ 7.5 and I want to uninstall it and install new version
I stopped the qmgr and listener
dspmqinst shows that the installation dir is /usr/mqm
I executed the below commands with root
installp -u mqm
but got the below error
Not Installed
-------------
No software could be found on the system that could be deinstalled for the
following requests:
mqm
What is wrong here ...
And can I just ignore the error and clear dirs /var/mqm , /usr/mqm and /etc/opt/mqm and consider this as uninstall ?
Thanks
Heba |

Does this command show that any MQ components are installed?
lslpp -al | grep -i mq

Try it without the -u mqm

I'd thought you'd use smitty to install / uninstall software on AIX?

The uninstallation instructions for V7.5 MQ on AIX can be read here:
Uninstalling IBM WebSphere MQ on AIX
I can see that there are two choices for uninstalling on AIX and what you have done is the first of the two choices.
An alternative mechanism is to use smit - do you see a similar error if you try that?
Cheers,
Morag
