Uninstalling Liberty fix packs from distributed operating systems using the GUI
You can roll back WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core 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 intermediate fix packs; in fact, Installation Manager installs
the latest level by default. For example, you can skip fix-pack
levels and go from Version 8.5.5.1 directly to Version 8.5.5.5. Keep
in mind, however, that later you can not roll back to any level that
was skipped. If you directly install to Version 8.5.5.5, for example,
you cannot roll back to Version 8.5.5.4. If you skip from Version
8.5.5.1 to Version 8.5.5.5, you can only roll back to Version 8.5.5.1.
