Tivoli Product Uninstall

[ashishv]

hi all

i am facing some peculiar problems... i was installing the TEC module on the TMR which already has DM, INVENTORY, Software dist, While installing the TEC CONSOLE it said that product installed with ERRORs. and it does not even show in the list of uninstallable products by running "wuninst -list", but shows up in the list when u run "wlsisnt -a". it does not show me the option in the Tivoli desktop for the Event console creation.
How can i Uninstall this product or for that matter any product if the install is with the errors. on Winnt and also on Solaris and AIX

pleasr reply if any one knows the answer...

Did you take a Tivoli Database backup before your install? If so then that is your answer.
But I'm guessing you didn't because we all know best practice, but...
You could try removing the "tag" file in $DBDIR/.installed for the appropriate product, then the install will try to re-install the database objects for the product. This is not the supported way, but it could work.
Be sure to backup database before doing this.
And remember, setup a DB backuup strategy so you can step back through these at a later date.
