Resolution

Question 1:
  For Uninstall:
            /opt/CA/SharedComponents/EmbeddedEntitlementsManager/uninstall/eiamuninstall
            /opt/CA/SharedComponents/EmbeddedEntitlementsManager/uninstall/eiamuninstall-DFORCE_UNINSTALL=true

              Which one needs to follow from the above for Uninstall?

Answer:
            I would suggest running the below command:
                       eiamuninstall -DFORCE_UNINSTALL=true
            Please see the below link:

Question 2:
After Uninstall we need to remove the folders from the /opt/CA/SharedComponents/ except Csam ?

Answer:
          There should be no need to remove any folders.
          If you are uninstalling EEM the only directories that should be removed are:
          EIAM_PATH=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/EmbeddedEntitlementsManager
          IGW_PATH=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology
          CADIR_PATH=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/CADirectory

Question 3:

    Need to Uninstall and Install on a prod server where Tie Breaker, WCC and Secondary EEM exists and don’t want to stop the service.

Is this okay if we do not stop other services and install Secondary EEM ?

Answer:
            I need more information. Do you have TWO instances of EEM running on the same server?
           
            I would make sure the WCC and Tie Breaker configuration files do not have any referance to the Secondary EEM when trying to do this upgrade. If they do then you should shut them down.
           If they do not have any reference to the secondary EEM then they can stay up.


Question 4:
           For Csam folder created after which component installed and what impact if its removed for the Sharedcomponents ?

Answer:
          CSAM stands for Secure Sockets Adaptor communication. It is used by all components for Autosys as it handles the communication encryption.

CSAM is installed as part of the Autosys Schedhuler /SDK /Agent installs /Application server/ WCC

This can NOT BE REMOVED. It will break the application.
