Uninstalling on-prem clients on Linux

Uninstalling Celonis on-premise clients (OPC) from Linux requires removing background services and system files to ensure a clean environment. This process covers both the Management Tool and Command Line methods to prevent configuration conflicts during future installations.

Option A: Deactivate services via the Management Tool

Your first option is to stop the active processes so the files aren't "in use" when you try to delete them.

  1. Launch the Tool: Open your On-prem Client Management Tool application.

  2. Stop the Automation Agent: Navigate to the Automation Agent tab, click Stop, and then click Uninstall.

  3. Stop the SAP Extractor: Switch to the SAP Extractor tab, click Stop, and then click Uninstall.

  4. Delete files: Manually delete the installation files from the installation folder path.

Option B: Uninstalling using the command line

To uninstall using the command line:

  1. In your command line, run:

    systemctl list-units --type=service --all | grep celonis

  2. Locate the on-prem clients service which should look in the following way:

    celonis-automation-agent-fc19167b-7e07-4e8c-b9c1-4bc0d647d000.service loaded    active   running Celonis on premise agent to execute automation type of tasks. This agent belongs to dk-test-EC2 package.

  3. Uninstall the service. Run:

    sudo systemctl stop celonis-automation-agent-<PACKAGE-ID-HERE>.service
sudo systemctl disable celonis-automation-agent-<PACKAGE-ID-HERE>.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/celonis-automation-agent-<PACKAGE-ID-HERE>.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
