Rolling back to a previous version of the Operations Center

Edit online

By default, IBM® Installation Manager saves earlier versions of a package to roll back to if you experience a problem with later versions of updates, fixes, or packages.

Before you begin

The rollback function is available only after the Operations Center is updated.

About this task

When IBM Installation Manager rolls back a package to a previous version, the current version of the package files is uninstalled, and an earlier version is reinstalled.

To roll back to a previous version, IBM Installation Manager must access files for that version. By default, these files are saved during each successive installation. Because the number of saved files increases with each installed version, you might want to delete these files from your system on a regular schedule. However, if you delete the files, you cannot roll back to a previous version.

To delete saved files or to update your preference for saving these files in future installations, complete the following steps:
  1. In IBM Installation Manager, click File > Preferences.
  2. On the Preferences page, click Files for Rollback, and specify your preference.

Procedure

To roll back to a previous version of the Operations Center, use the Roll Back function of IBM Installation Manager.
