You can roll back this product to an earlier version using
the Installation Manager GUI.
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 computer when you install a package.
If you change the default setting or delete the saved files, Installation
Manager requires access to the repository that was used to install
the earlier version.
Important: Installation Manager
can install any fix-pack level of the product directly without installing
the interim fix packs; in fact, Installation Manager installs the
latest level by default. For example, you can skip fix-pack levels
and go from Version 8.5.0.1 directly to Version 8.5.0.5. Keep in mind,
however, that later you can not roll back to any level that was skipped.
If you directly install to Version 8.5.0.5, for example, you cannot
roll back to Version 8.5.0.4. If you skip from Version 8.5.0.1 to
Version 8.5.0.5, you can only roll back to Version 8.5.0.1.
