Uninstalling the Shinydocs Service module for OpenText Content Server

A restart of Content Server, including all nodes, will be required. We recommend this disruption be considered when scheduling the uninstall of the Shinydocs Service module.

We recommend a backup or snapshot of the Content Server nodes be done before completing the steps in this article.

A backup is not necessary for Content Server Cloud Edition if deployed in Kubernetes.

This module is typically used as a bridge between Shinydrive and Content Server. Some customers, however, may be using it with other Shinydocs products.

Preparing

Identify all Content Server nodes, including front-end and Admin nodes. Of these nodes, select one which will be considered the primary node to which the uninstall steps will be performed on.

Ensure all Content Server nodes are accessible, for a restart after the module has been uninstalled.
