Begin with uninstall
Any Oracle Hyperion
Admin will agree – we definitely need to go through clean uninstall of system
while implementing it for new client. I guess we had that day of uninstalling
EPM 11.2.7 from our Integration server today.
As it was pending
from a long time after we started with Hyperion v11.2.7, here are basic steps
to perform clean uninstall Oracle Hyperion EPM V11.2.7
Uninstall using
same admin account with which we have installed Hyperion EPM V11.2.

Uninstall using same admin account with which we have installed Hyperion EPM V11.2.
2. Stop EPM Services
Stop all Oracle Hyperion
EPM services created on server. (If any)
EPM uninstaller
uninstalls JRE which comes with EPM installer. It is used for installation and
configuration of any Hyperion products. The same JRE is used to uninstall
related non-Hyperion software components like weblogic, OHS. So, if we proceed
for EPM V11.2.7 uninstall, we cannot uninstall related software components by
proper procedure and so we might end up in option of deleting folders and
cleaning related stuff.
Thus, it is very important to follow following steps before uninstalling EPM V11.2.7
Run WL Uninstaller
separately.
Unlike previous versions and previous Windows servers, could not find shortcut for Weblogic Windows Server 2019 and for EPM V11.2.7.
Instead of spending more time on understanding options available on 2019 server, used the batch file to uninstall weblogic.

Instead of spending more time on understanding options available on 2019 server, used the batch file to uninstall weblogic.
However this file

uninstall files are included in FMW 12 uninstaller.

Run Oracle FMW 12
