IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Saving package information for rollback

You can use the IBM® Installation Manager rollback feature to revert an updated package back to a previous version for those packages that support rollback.

About this task

To complete the rollback, the Installation Manager requires information from the earlier version of the package for those packages that support rollback. By default, the files that are needed to complete the rollback are saved on your computer when each version of the package is installed. On the Files for Rollback preference page, you can change the default action and remove any previously stored files.

Procedure

Start the IBM Installation Manager:
- Double-click the IBMIM.exe file that is located in the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where IBM Installation Manager was installed. The default path for IBM Installation Manager on Windows is C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse.
- Execute the IBMIM binary under /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse.
Click File → Preferences → Files for Rollback.
Select Save file for rollback to save on your computer a copy of files that are needed to rollback packages.
Click Delete Saved Files to delete all saved files. If you delete the files and you need to rollback a package, you must connect to your old repository or insert the media for the previous version of the package to obtain the required files.
