You can remove CIP updates from an existing product installation
without removing the entire product. Use the IBM® Update Installer Version 7.0.0.4 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.
- Download Version 7.0.0.4 of the Update Installer from the
following FTP site:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/cw/process_server/FEP/UPDI/7004
- Install the Update Installer. See Installing the Update Installer for WebSphere® Software in the WebSphere Application
Server Information Center for
more information.
- Uninstall any fix pack, refresh pack, or interim fix that
you added to your environment after you installed the CIP.
- Uninstall any interim fixes that you included in 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 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 shows how a CIP is displayed differently
than other regular maintenance packages on the maintenance package
selection panel:

Results
You successfully removed the CIP updates from an existing
product installation.
