Operating System Files to be Removed Manually to Unregister an Existing Service Manager

Linux 6
  • /etc/init.d/OracleGoldenGate
  • /etc/rc.d/*OracleGoldenGate
  • /etc/rc*.d/*OracleGoldenGate

  • /etc/oggInst.loc

Linux 7

 /etc/systemd/system/OracleGoldenGate.service

The following commands are executed to stop the Service Manager: 

systemctl stop OracleGoldenGate 
systemctl disable OracleGoldenGate *

Note:

If the Service Manager is not registered as a service (with or without the integration with XAG), OGGCA stops the Service Manager deployment, otherwise, a script called unregisterServiceManager is created, and when executed by the user, it runs the systemctl commands and deletes the mentioned files.
