Rolling back fix packs

Using the Roll Back Packages wizard, you can remove a fix pack and revert to a previous version.

Before you begin

During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If the files are not available on your workstation, you must include the location of the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product in your Installation Manager preferences (File > Preferences > Repository). If you installed the product from DVD or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback feature.

About this task

Use the rollback feature if you have applied an update to a product package, and decide later that you want to remove the update and revert to the earlier version of the product. When you use the rollback feature, the Installation Manager uninstalls the updated resources, and reinstalls the resources from the previous version.

Note: A rollback process to a stand-alone server can disable the WebSphere test environment. You must reset the test environment profile after you complete the rollback process. To reset a test environment profile, see Creating or resetting default server profiles.

See the help in the Installation Manager for more information on using the Rollback wizard.
