Rolling back the feature pack on distributed operating systems

You can use Installation Manager to roll back this feature pack to an earlier version.

Before you begin

Make sure that your Installation Manager preferences are pointing to Web-based or local repositories that contain the appropriate earlier version of the feature pack.

Minimum repositories requirement for rolling back feature packs: Installation Manager must have access to the following repositories:
  • Repository for the current level of WebSphere Application Server that is installed on the system (which can be an import repository)
  • Repositories for the current levels of the feature packs that are installed on the system
  • Recommended: repository for the target roll-back level of the feature pack
[Fix Pack 11 or later] Supported configurations: You must use IBM Installation Manager Version 1.4.0 or later to install, modify, or uninstall a feature pack on WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Fix Pack 11 or later. For more information, see the support documentation for IBM Installation Manager.sptcfg

About this task

Perform this procedure to use Installation Manager to roll back this feature pack to an earlier version.

Restriction: After you update the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0 to Version 1.0.1 or later using Installation Manager, the ISMP-based uninstaller created during the installation of Version 1.0 of the feature pack will not be able to uninstall Version 1.0.1 or later. You can use Installation Manager to uninstall Version 1.0.1 or later, or you can use Installation Manager to roll Version 1.0.1 or later back to Version 1.0. After you roll back to Version 1.0, you can use the ISMP-based uninstaller to uninstall it.

Procedure

  1. Stop all servers on the WebSphere Application Server installation that is being modified.
  2. Start Installation Manager.
  3. Click Roll Back.
  4. Select the package group to roll back.
  5. Click Next.
    Note: If you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that you registered with on the program Web site.
  6. Select the version to which you want to roll back under IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA).
    • If you are rolling back from Version 1.0.1.x to Version 1.0.1, the roll back could install or remove the SDO feature.
      • If you install the SDO feature, you must use the manageprofiles command or the Profile Management Tool to augment an existing profile or create a new profile when this roll back is finished to enable the functionality provided by the feature.
      • If you want to remove the SDO feature, you must perform one of the following actions:
        • Before you remove the feature, use the manageprofiles command to unaugment all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.

          Profiles that are unaugmented should be deleted when this roll back is finished because they might not be valid after the feature is removed.

        • After you remove the feature, use the manageprofiles command to delete all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.
    • If you are rolling back from Version 1.0.1.x to Version 1.0,, the feature pack is rolled back to a version that does not include the SDO feature. If you have this feature enabled on the version from which you are rolling back, you must perform one of the following actions:
      • Before you remove the feature, use the manageprofiles command to unaugment all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.

        Profiles that are unaugmented should be deleted when this roll back is finished because they might not be valid after the feature is removed.

      • After you remove the feature, use the manageprofiles command to delete all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Review the summary information, and click Roll Back.
    • If the roll back is successful, the program displays a message indicating that the roll back is successful.
    • If the roll back is not successful, click View Log File to troubleshoot the problem.
  9. Click Finish.
  10. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
