Uninstall CIP updates from an existing product installation
You can remove the customized installation package (CIP) updates from an existing product installation without removing the entire product. Use the Update Installer for WebSphere® Extended Deployment to uninstall any CIP updates. This task is also referred to as a slip uninstallation.
Before you begin
You must have at least one existing copy of WebSphere XD installed on the system.
About this task
The process for removing updates from a product CIP installation is the same as uninstalling maintenance packages in a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment environment.
Procedure
- Download and install the latest version of the Update Installer for WebSphere Extended Deployment from the IBM® Support and downloads Web site if it does not already exist.
- Uninstall any fix pack, refresh pack, or interim fix that you installed after installing the CIP. This process is the same as uninstalling any other maintenance packs.
- Uninstall any interim fixes that were installed as part of the slip installation. This process is the same as uninstalling a single fix pack or refresh pack. However, the maintenance that was included in the customized installation package CIP is now included in a single operation.
- Uninstall the CIP by using the Update Installer. The maintenance levels return to the pre-update state, and the CIP is denoted by the the CIP identifier prepended to its filename. The following example illustrates how a CIP displays differently than other regular maintenance packages in the Update Installer maintenance package selection panel:
- CIP
com.ibm.ws.cip.6101.xd.primary.ext.pak
Results
You successfully removed the CIP updates from an existing product installation.
