Repository tools command to remove a patch fix from an Engineering Lifecycle Management application
Use the patchRevertApp command to remove a patch fix from an IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management application on the server and revert to the previous patch fix.
Purpose
The patchRevertApp command removes a patch fix from an Engineering Lifecycle Management application on the server and reverts to the previous patch fix. You can use this command only once to revert a patch that was applied by using the patchApplyApp command. The reason for this single use is because the patchApplyApp command stores a backup copy of only the current configuration before the new patch fix is applied.
You can use this command whether the server is running or not. If the server is running, you must restart the application to remove the current patch fix and revert to the previous patch fix. You do not need to reset the application to clear the cache before you restart the application.
Parameters
Attribute | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
app | The application context for which to revert the patch fix. Use this parameter when you run
the patchRevertApp command to remove patch fixes from applications that do not
have repository tools commands. For example, to run this command for the Change and Configuration
Management application, set the value of app to
ccm:
repotools-jts.bat -patchRevertApp app=ccm |
No | If the app parameter is omitted,
the command is applied to the application that is associated with
the repository tools command. For example, the following command
will revert the most recent patch fix to the Change and Configuration
Management application:
repotools-ccm.bat -patchRevertApp The
following two commands are functionally equivalent:
repotools-ccm.bat -patchRevertApp repotools-jts.bat -patchRevertApp app=ccm |
Example
This example shows how to revert patch fixes targeted to individual applications:
Open a command prompt and enter these commands:
repotools-jts.bat -patchRevertApp repotools-jts.bat -patchRevertApp app=ccm repotools-ccm.bat -patchRevertApp repotools-qm.bat -patchRevertApp repotools-rm.bat -patchRevertApp
Open a command line and enter these commands:
repotools-jts.sh -patchRevertApp repotools-jts.sh -patchRevertApp app=ccm repotools-ccm.sh -patchRevertApp repotools-qm.sh -patchRevertApp repotools-rm.sh -patchRevertApp
