You can remove the customized installation package (CIP) updates
from an existing product installation without removing the entire product.
Use the Update Installer for WebSphere® Extended Deployment to uninstall any
CIP updates. This task is also referred to as a slip uninstallation.
Before you begin
You must have at least one existing copy of the product installed
on the system.
About this task
The process for removing updates from a product CIP installation
is the same as uninstalling maintenance packages in a WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment environment.
Procedure
- Download and install the latest version of the Update Installer
for WebSphere Extended
Deployment from the IBM® Support and downloads Web site if it does not already
exist.
- Uninstall any fix pack, refresh pack, or interim fix that you installed
after installing the CIP. This process is the same as uninstalling any other
maintenance packs.
- Uninstall any interim fixes that were installed as part of the
slip installation. This process is the same as uninstalling a single
fix pack or refresh pack. However, the maintenance that was included in the
customized installation package CIP is now included in a single operation.
- Uninstall the CIP by using the Update Installer. The
maintenance levels return to the pre-update state, and the CIP is denoted
by the the
CIP identifier prepended to its filename. The following
example illustrates how a CIP displays differently than other regular maintenance
packages in the Update Installer maintenance package selection panel:
Results
You successfully removed the CIP updates from an existing product
installation.
