Uninstalling Bsafe/Enterprise Security Version 5.5.2 or Later

 (updated 2 June 2008)

 

Planning for the Uninstall

·         The restarting of TCP/IP is an essential step in the uninstall process. Start the process described below only if you can end and restart TCP/IP immediately following the uninstall. Terminating TCP/IP results in stopping most networked activity including 5250 emulation. Alternatively, you can perform a system IPL which ends and restarts TCP/IP automatically.
