Using the rollback feature, you can remove an update to
a package, reverting to a previous version.
Before you begin
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 (), 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 () 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.
About this task
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, 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 wizard to add and remove features.
To
roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- On the Start page, click Roll Back to
start the Roll Back 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.
