Upgrade issue - Update Installer detected an instance of Installation Manager.

Post by rkashyap »

While upgrading DataStage from 11.51 to 11.7.0, prereq checker is failing with following message:
WARNING: The Update Installer detected an instance of Installation Manager on your system. Please uninstall Installation Manager.
Resolution: Uninstall Installation Manager using the instructions given in http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/insta ... stall.html.
The Modpack will install Installation Manager 1.8.6. If you have other applications that need a later version of Installation Manager, you can upgrade Installation Manager after Modpack install completes.
Link given in above instructions is broken http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/insta ... stall.html.

I have already looked at the instructions in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/installatio ... ing-wizard. Unfortunately it does not help as referenced file /var/ibm/InstallationManager/uninstall does not exist in our installation.
I have also opened a case with IBM, but as usual support is slow.

Could you please advise, if:
1. Above warning can be ignored?
2. If not could you please share instructions on uninstalling the Installation Manager?
