IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Rollback of the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers
You can use the rollback feature of IBM Installation Manager to revert an updated package back to a previous version. To complete the rollback, the Installation Manager requires information from the earlier version of the package, if the package supports rollback.
When Installation Manager rolls a package back to a previous version, it uninstalls the current version of some files and reinstalls the previous version of those files.
By default, the files that are required to complete the rollback are saved on your computer. On the Files for Rollback preference page, you can change the default action and remove any previously stored files. See Saving package information for rollback.
The installer will restart the IBM WebSphere Application Server as part of the rollback process.
Restriction: IBM Installation Manager does not store your Jazz for Service Management profile location and password in the response file that is recorded for rollback. You must manually update the recorded response file with the missing profile location and password. The following entry is an example of the missing section:
<profile id='Core services in Jazz for Service Management' installLocation='C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzSM'> <data key='user.WAS_PASSWORD' value='M6NQ+7Gb+GuoNQNg8N+Lkw=='/> </profile>Where:
- installLocation='C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzSM'
- Is the customized installation location.
See Recording a response file.
- value='M6NQ+7Gb+GuoNQNg8N+Lkw=='
- Is the encrypted password for the user.
To rollback the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers if IBM Installation Manager was configured to save the files for the previous version of the package:
- On the main Installation Manager window, click Rollback to start the Rollback wizard.
- Select the Core services in Jazz for Service Management package group and click Next.
- Select the version of the package that you want to rollback to and click Next.
- Review the summary information and click Rollback to rollback the package.
