You can roll back WebSphere® eXtreme
Scale Client to
an earlier version using IBM® Installation
Manager from the command line.
Before you begin
Restriction: In order to use this procedure, you
must have Installation Manager Version 1.5 or later installed on your
system.
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.
About this task
Restriction: You cannot use the Installation
Manager to roll back an installation and add or remove the full WebSphere Application Server
profile feature or the Liberty profile feature.
Procedure
- Optional: If the repository requires a username
and password, create a keyring file to access this repository.
For more information on creating a keyring file for Installation
Manager, read the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
Tip: When
creating a keyring file, append /repository.config at
the end of the repository URL location if the imutilsc command
is unable to find the URL that is specified.
- Log on to your system.
- Stop all processes that are running in your environment.
- To stop all processes that are running in your WebSphere Application
Server environment, see Command-line utilities.
- Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory
in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
- Use the imcl command to roll back the
product.
