How uninstalling a store app works?

Suggy
Giga Sage

we have installed an application from store. It has installed custom tables, introduced data source and transform map, few business rules and script includes etc.

We have data loaded in above custom table, and we have also modified the transform maps and business rules.

Now If we UNINSTALL this application, what will happen? How does it work?

Exactly @Suggy  because your doing all this under same scope app so when you uninstall everything gets erased

Hi @Suggy 

 

I never did this, but to understand in easy way

- The app installation is like a committing update set

- After commit and if we make changes that is next part

 

Now if we try to backed out this update set it is too risky and brake functionality.  So I can say it risky and need good and deep analysis before uninstall.

@Suggy  ,  I have Experienced recently and by luck we did not make any more customizations on the custom App tables

 

What Happens when you Uninstall?

All the Customizations gets deleted/Wiped out when you Uninstall ,  as your designing the Solutions on the Tables which came with Plugin 

If you need the data Just take the Backup as you will loose everything
