Restoring a saved configuration

A previously saved configuration (or any configuration recorded in the history) can be restored, thereby backing out of the results of an unsuccessful upgrade. Restoring a saved configuration does not delete the files for feature and plug-in versions from the local computer; it merely ignores them and acts as it did when they were not present. To restore a saved configuration to be the current configuration:

  1. Open the main update manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Update Manager. This opens the Install/Update perspective.
  2. In the Install Configuration view, expand the Saved Configurations (or Configuration History) item and select the desired configuration. Click Restore.
  3. Click Yes when asked to exit and restart the Workbench for the changes to take effect.
  4. Expand the Current Configuration (and children) to confirm that the current configuration now matches the configuration saved earlier.
