How to remove Oracle Server 8.0.5 from AIX 5.2?

I am attempting to remove software Oracle Server Enterprise Edition 8.0.5 using program orainst. I change directory to /u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/orainst and execute the command and get an error message:
$ ./orainst
Cannot determine if this is AIX version 3 or 4.
Oracle cannot be installed.
Exiting orainst procedure.
This UNIX server is running AIX 5.2. I was trying to use Oracle's program to uninstall the software instead of using a UNIX command to remove the files. When I run the Oracle 10gR2 OUI it lists only the 10gR2 software as being installed. It does not show the 8.0.5 and 9.2.0 software that I want to uninstall. I am going to raise the 10gR2 OUI question in a different post.
Does anyone have a suggestion on dealing with the message from the 8.0.5 orainst program?
Am I taking the right steps to uninstall the 8.0.5 software?
Thank you,
Bill

Oracle's recommended way to remove software is via the same program used to install it. If that is not possible they do give instructions on removing directories using UNIX commands. If I use UNIX commands there remains the problem of updating file /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml to remove references to the software I deleted.
Remarks in ContentsXML state clearly
"". That tells me not to use vi to edit the file and delete obsolete references.
Since the file contains lines
<HOME NAME="ORACLE_HOME1" LOC="/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7" TYPE="O" IDX="1"/>
<HOME NAME="ORACLE_HOME" LOC="/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0" TYPE="O" IDX="2"/>
<HOME NAME="ORACLE_HOME_10g" LOC="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0" TYPE="O" IDX="3"/>
<HOME NAME="agent10g" LOC="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/agent10g" TYPE="O" IDX="4"/>
how else am I to remove references to deleted software except by execution of Oracle's install software?
Thank you,
Bill

DSfW server can be removed using the ndsdcrm tool, which is a perl script. However, this tool is not available as part of xad-framework rpm to avoid accidental corruption of the domain or tree. To use the tool please get in touch with NTS.

How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

If you purchased a computer from another person, you need to wipe it clean. To do this, click on the link - Erasing disks securely
Depending on your model Macbook Pro...
Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

Now, my Oracle is corrupted. Its just a testing server. I was half way deleting the Oracle files and now I am unable to remove the remaining files. I stopped all the services related to Oracle and its still the same.
How should I remove Oracle from my server now.

How to remove Suspend ,Abort and some more from Bulk Actions

Hi
Does anybody have an idea as how to remove action such as Suspend,Abort but not all from Bulk actions in enterprise server.I am using 10.3.1 version.
Any kind of suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Ritu

What are you trying to accomplish here? By the sounds of it you want a way to be able to bulk abort, but not have the user be allowed to do this to individual instances...
If so, I'd recommend setting the activities to NOT be abortable or suspendable, and add a Grab activity in a support role. Then make the grab, be abortable. This makes it so that a 'super user' (ie one with support role), can go in, select several instances, grab them, then abort them but normal users can not.
Just a thought...

How to remove spaces at selection screen coming from logical database

Hi Experties,
When we hide some selection from the logical database. The spaces still occupied and this make our selection screen looks awkward.
How to remove the spaces left by hidden selection ?
Regards
Nislina

Hi,
I came across your un-answered question while searching for a solution on the similer problem. Though I couldn't fine a solution on SDN, but figured out one myself. Thought its a good idea to share it.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group4 = '003'.
      screen-active = 0.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Here screen-group4 contains the sequence number of the select-options field starting from 000 onwards.
You may like to assign points and close the question.
Kind Regards,
Khalid Mustafa

Does anyone know how to remove references to facebook and Twitter from the settings and "share" feature screens?

I don't use facebook or Twitter and I shouldn't have to see references to them in the settings section or the "share" dropdowns of Safari, the photo management screens, or anywhere else. Can anyone tell me how to remove these references?

To the best of my knowledge you can't.
You can try going into the settings and restrictions and turn them off and see if that makes the icons disappear (probably won't) but there's no way to select the icons you want.

How to remove the buttons which are coming from a report?

Hi All,
I need to remove the buttons from an iview which is a sap transaction. when i execute the report program which uses a ldb (PCH) shows a selection screen having all the buttons.
We have created variants for this.Now i want to remove the buttons which are coming from the report program.how to do this ?
Lakshmi.

Hi,
I think u r mentioning about the addition buttons that appear in the selection screen when using a logical database. for removing these buttons u can use a function module RS_SET_SELSCREEN_STATUS for setting ur own pf-status
do this in "at selection screen output" of the program..
in the tables parameter, u have the option for giving the ok-codes that u want to remove. append all the ok-codes into this table.
for getting the ok-codes u can use "tab" and go the button.. press F1. it will give the ok-code.

How to remove all nodes (except root node)from a Jtree?

How to remove all nodes (except the root node)from a Jtree?

Either:
- remove all children of root.
- save the root node, throws away the tree model, build a new TreeModel with the saved root, set the new TreeModel in the JTree.
- implement your own TreeModel, which would support an emptyExceptRoot() method.
IMHO, using the DefautlTreeModel and DefaultMutableTreeNode does lead to all sorts of small problems when the app evolves, and implementing your own TreeNode and TreeModel is not that hard and much more efficient.

How to remove xcode 4.3.3 update from mountain lion Appstore

Hello,
I moved my old xcode 4.3.1 installation from the application folder to the trash. I also deleted /Developer (prevoius xcode installations)
Now the AppStore want to update to xcode 4.3.3. But I can't update, because I installed mountain lion. For mountain lion I use xcode 4.4 and 4.5 beta's.
How can I remove this update 4.3.3 from the AppStore??
Thanks
Andreas

That's life. You will probably always have that Xcode in there and Lion too. The App Store keeps track of its apps. If you install something newer on your own, the App Store can't handle that. See if you can hide the purchase: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
