IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Rollback of the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server

You can use the rollback feature of IBM® Installation Manager to revert an updated package back to a previous version. To complete the rollback, the Installation Manager requires information from the earlier version of the package, if the package supports rollback.

Before you begin

When Installation Manager rolls a package back to a previous version, it uninstalls the current version of some files and reinstalls the previous version of those files.

By default, the files that are required to complete the rollback are saved on your computer. On the Files for Rollback preference page, you can change the default action and remove any previously stored files. For more information, see Saving package information for rollback.

About this task

Complete the following steps to rollback the Tivoli® Authorization Policy Server if IBM Installation Manager was configured to save the files for the previous version of the package:
