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.
