How do I uninstall Genie on the iSeries?

Below are the steps to remove Genie from your IBM i.

1. Genie (by default) creates only one library on the system. This
library is called GENIE by default. You can start by removing it. There
is the possibility that you chose to install the library under a
different name, or decided to create multiple libraries for different
test environments, etc. An easy way to find any and all of these is to
run the following command:

WRKOBJ *ALL/GENIE

This will find all instances of our Genie program on your system. You
can remove each library where it is found.

2. The license key for the software is stored in data area:
QGPL/GENIEKEY. This data area should be removed.

3. On the IFS, Genie has created a folder /genie that can be removed,
along with all of its contents.

4. Now, before you can remove the server configuration, you'll want to
shut down the HTTP server instance for Genie, if it's running. You can
do so with the following command:

ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(GENIE)

5. Remove the folder /www/genie, and its /www/genie/conf subfolder,
along with its contents. DO NOT remove the other /www subfolders, as
they contain configuration files for any other HTTP server instances
that you may have running on the system. Remove ONLY the /www/genie/conf
and /www/genie folders.

6. Back in the library file system in QUSRSYS/QATMHINSTC, you'll find a
member called GENIE. Remove this member. It stores the path to the
configuration file on the IFS that we removed in step 5. Again, ONLY
remove the GENIE member, as the other members contain information needed for other HTTP server instances that you may have running on the system.
