Standard Uninstallation with SDBUNINST 

Use

You can use the SDBUNINST program after you have installed Version 7.4 of the SAP DB software. You can use this program to uninstall SAP DB software from Version 7.2.

Note that the program was first delivered with SAP DB version 7.4, and is therefore only available to you if you have at least one SAP DB version 7.4 installation on your host.

During the standard uninstallation with SDBUNINST, you uninstall the entire SAP DB software on your host.

You can also use the SDBUNINST program if you only want to uninstall individual software components. In this case, however, you must consider sequences and dependencies of software components. For more information about uninstalling individual software components, see Uninstalling the SAP DB Software in the Installation Guide: SAP DB.
