More Information About DaFIS TP UninstallThe DaFIS TP application is comprised of two components: Compuware Uniface and Oracle Net8 Client. Uniface is the part that displays the forms and menus. When you search for documents or enter data, Uniface constructs a database command and then calls the Oracle Net8 Client. The Oracle Net8 client is responsible for contacting the database and receiving results and responses from the database.Only the Oracle Net8 Client portion of DaFIS TP is installed on your computer. The Compuware Uniface portion is stored on the Q: drive. When we say uninstall DaFIS TP, we really mean uninstall Oracle Net8. That is why all of the uninstall instructions refer to Oracle products. Most Windows applications can be removed via the Add/Remove Programs control panel. However you won't find an entry for the Oracle Net8 Client in the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Oracle provides an installer utility instead; in normal situations, you can use the Oracle Universal Installer to add and remove Oracle components. There are times when the Oracle Universal Installer is not sufficient for uninstall needs. For example, it may not recognize all of the installed components, it may not be able to uninstall old versions of Oracle components or it may crash when you try to run it. In these situations, the expert uninstall method is the only alternative. |
