Rejecting an update
To reject an update:
- On Windows operating systems, use the setup program for Edge Components
Product to remove components.
- Select Remove on the Maintenance Options window for the setup program.
- Use the setup program for Edge Components to reinstall the
previous version.
- On HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operating systems, to remove a refresh or
fix pack and return to a prepatched state, uninstall the product and reinstall
the previous version.
- The mechanism that the AIX operating system provides for rejecting a patch
requires that the patch be produced in refresh or fix pack format. The Edge
Components refresh or fix pack is provided with product format packaging only,
not refresh or fix pack format packaging. Therefore, you cannot use the AIX
SMIT mechanisms for installing and removing patches. To reject a patch on
an AIX system, you must uninstall the file sets and reinstall the previous
version.
For most components, when the refresh or fix pack is removed, the configuration
files are saved in the oldfiles/component directory. You can use these configuration
files with the reinstalled version of the product to maintain the patched
configuration in the prepatched version.
