Deinstalling Oracle Text
January 5, 2011
We received an email from one of our two or three readers asking about this link to Oracle’s own documentation for deinstalling Oracle Text. The link is to Oracle’s Help Web site, but when you click the link to the deinstallation information, you are greeted with a log in screen.
What does one do if the engineer working on the deinstallation does not have a user name and password. Clients have been known to lose track of these items in our experience. Trial and error is not a recommended approach. Oracle Text works its way into the “Oracle environment” and can become irritated if tasks are not undertaken in the prescribed order. Fooling around can create quite a bit of excitement. Data corruption, anyone?
If you need deinstallation information, you may want to navigate to Net Cry. There is a non password protected guide to walk you the process: “Manual installation, deinstallation of Oracle Text 10gR1 and 10gR2.” We can’t guarantee that it is congruent with Oracle’s method, but you will find a step-by-step description without any frills and if you read carefully, it should answer all your questions.
