   NOTE

   You do not need to shut down a database to uninstall the stand-alone application agent.

   To validate the .rpm files before you update the software, follow the instructions in Knowledgebase article number 546613 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/546613.

   rpm -e emcdbappagent-19.3.0.0-1

   The uninstall procedure does not remove certain files and directories that contain logs and lockbox files. You must manually remove the log files, if required.
