Deleting Temporary Files and Other Files

Once you have removed the SIMULIA Execution Engine station software, you need to remove the temporary directories and files created by the SIMULIA Execution Engine station.

  1. Log in as root (obtain root permissions). Although it is not necessary to be root to delete all the temporary files, it is necessary for some of the files.

  2. Navigate to the directory that contains the top level of your SIMULIA Execution Engine installation. For example, if you installed SIMULIA Execution Engine in /opt/SIMULIA/Execution Engine/2017, navigate to the /opt/SIMULIA/Execution Engine directory.

  3. Delete the 2017directory and all of its contents.

  4. Navigate to the $HOME directory for the user that installed the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

  5. Delete the following items (if they are present):

    • .fiper.preferences file (notice the leading “.” in the file name)

    • dashboard.log file

    • Fiperinstall.log file

    • Fiperuninstall.log file

    • gateway.log file

  6. Navigate to the following directory:

    /var/tmp

  7. Delete the flexlm.log file (if it is present).

  8. Navigate to the location of the station temporary directory.

  9. Delete the entire SIMULIA Execution Engine station directory (typically the same as the computer name running that SIMULIA Execution Engine station).

    The SIMULIA Execution Engine station removal process is complete.
