Rollback preference


Overview

By default, IBM Installation Manager saves earlier versions of a package to roll back to if you experience issues with later versions of updates, fixes, or packages. When Installation Manager rolls back a package to a previous version, the current version of the files are uninstalled and the earlier versions are reinstalled. If you choose not to save the files for rollback, you can delete the files from your computer.

    If you delete the files and you need to roll back a package later, you must connect to a repository or insert the media to obtain the required files for the previous version of the package.
