Problem

After uninstall ORACLE is complete, I can see 'product' directory is removed and I checked sqlplus is not available anymore. The final message looked fine.

However, there is a remaining or replaced directory, which is named tfa. I've searched it and it is a kind of tool to help us find out what's going on.

My questions are:

  • Why isn't it uninstalled?



  • Is it installed automatically at the same time of ORACLE install?



  • Can I remove it with rm command?



  • After uninstall, what kind of things do I have to check?



My ORACLE version is 12c.

Solution

-
TFA is a seperate installation. It is not part of the database home. Uninstalling the database home does not automatically uninstall TFA.

-
It is installed while executing root.sh, but it is a seperate installation.

-
No. Uninstall it with $ORACLE_BASE/tfa/$(hostname -s)/tfa_home/bin/uninstalltfa.sh, as root user.

-
None.
