Using the rollback feature, you can remove an update to
a package, reverting 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 you install a package. If you changed
the default setting or deleted the files using the Remove Saved Files
option on the Roll Back preferences page (File Preferences Rollback
Files), Installation Manager will require access to your
installation repository or media. If you installed the product from
a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File
> Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which
you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed
the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you
use the rollback feature.
Use the rollback feature if you have applied an update
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 feature, the Installation Manager uninstalls the
updated resources, and reinstalls the resources from the previous
version. You can only roll back one version level at a time.
When
you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored
with same features that were associated with that version. Use the
Modify Packages wizard to add and remove features.
To
roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:
- On the Start page, click Roll Back to
start the Rollback wizard.
- From the Package Group Name list,
select the package group that contains the packages that you want
to roll back. Click Next.
- Select the version of the package that you want to roll
back to. Click Next.
- Read the summary information and click Roll
Back to roll back the package.
