Rolling back fix packs
Using the Roll back packages wizard, you can remove a fix pack from the IBM BPM installation and revert to a previous version.
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 install a package.
If the files are not available on your workstation, you must include the location of the repository from which installed the previous version of the product in your Installation Manager preferences (File > Preferences > Repository). If installed the product from DVDs or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback function.
Use the rollback function if you have applied a fix pack 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 function, the Installation Manager uninstalls the updated resources, and reinstalls the resources from the previous version.
When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it is restored with same features that were associated with that version. Use the Modify Packages wizard to add and remove features.
For more information about Installation Manager, including how to perform a rollback from the command line, refer to the Installation Manager information center.
