Issue/Introduction

How do I completely uninstall CABI from UIM 20.x? How to remove CABI from UIM? 

This KB provides steps to completely remove/uninstall CABI from UIM.

You may need to uninstall and reinstall CA Business Intelligence (CABI) Bundled for one or more of the following reasons:

• CABI doesn't start
• Cannot access the dashboard or the dashboard fails to load
• Data Access Error, e.g., in OC Reports page 

Environment

• UIM 8.51, 9.x, 20.x
• CABI 3.20, 4.x
• uim_core_dashboards_pack - related versions
• uim_cabi_health_report_pack - related versions
• uim_unified_reporter_pack - related versions
• ump_cabi - related versions

Resolution

- Gather the scripts for MS SQL server (attached to this KB), or MySQL and Oracle from the following location on the cabi server, and save them off:

   ...\Nimsoft\probes\service\cabi\config\scripts\drop_tables\Scripts for Upgraded versions

- remove cabi probe (via IM or AC)
- remove wasp probe (via IM or AC)
- remove ../nimsoft/c (from the cabi robot)
- remove ../nimsoft/probes/service/cabi (from the cabi robot)
- remove ../nimsoft/probes/service/wasp (from the cabi robot)
- run the delete queries against the UIM SQL database 3 times (attached script) (or previous grabbed scripts in the case of MySQL, and Oracle)

Note: This is required due to some overlap in dependencies.

- install wasp to the cabi server
- verify that wasp will run with a port and pid (your certificate.pem file should be in place and referenced in the robot.cfg)
- edit the wasp config with the correct data_engine path (/domain/primaryhub/primaryhubrobot/data_engine)
- allow wasp to restart (verify port and pid, and that there are no errors in the wasp.log)

- deploy the following packs to the cabi server

     a. uim_unified_reporter_pack
     b. uim_cabi_health_report_pack
