CABI CLEAN UP SCRIPT

This section provides step-by-step guidance to uninstall CABI using the cabi-cleanup script.

Step 1: Download the Cleanup Script file (Zip file) based on the environment you want to run the cleanup.

The Cabi-Cleanup-win.zip is for Windows environments and Cabi-Cleanup-linux.zip for Linux environments.

Step 2: Unzip it, Copy the files into the Nimsoft folder on your cabi robot as shown below.

Step 3: Open the batch/shell batch file in textpad/notepad and validate that the jre version name in the Nimsoft/jre folder matches, if not change it in the .bat or .sh file as needed.

Note: No need to provide a complete JRE path, just the folder name.

Step 4:
For Windows:

Double-click and run the batch file. It will open in a command line window.

For Linux:

1. Navigate to the Nimsoft folder using the “cd” command.
2. Use chmod 755 cabi_clean.sh. 
3. Use chmod 755  cabicleanup.jar.
4. Then use  ./cabi_clean.sh to run the script.

Step 5:  Enter your UIM Credentials

Step 6: Cabi Cleanup Process will start, and may take a few minutes.

Cabi Cleanup Process is completed, please verify your probes, folders and Database.

Cabi installed on an Admin Console robot
If the cabi probe was installed on an AC robot, the wasp probe will be removed as part of the procedure above so you will need to reinstall the AC webapps along with wasp once the cleanup is completed:

• wasp
• adminconsoleapp
• msp
• uimhome
• uimesdplatelemetry
