Reverting the State of Product Fixes on an Installation
You can use Update Manager to revert the current state of fixes on your product installation to the fix state of the product installation from a previous Update Manager session. By reverting you restore the state of fixes on your product installation to the state of fixes at a specific time and date. Reverting is a very complex process that relies on the structural integrity of the installation and the quality of the fixes. It is strongly recommended to create a backup of your product installation in advance so you don't have to do pre-installation from the beginning. Some sessions are not available for revert. The sessions that you cannot revert to are indicated in the Update Manager user interface.
*To revert the fix state of a product installation:
1. Start the Update Manager application (command line or graphic interface).
2. Go to Revert.
3. Select a product directory for which to revert the state of product fixes.
Warning:
Make sure you backup your product installation before reverting.
4. From the drop down menu, select the time and date of the Update Manager session with the state of product fixes you want to revert to.
If the selected state of fixes requires the installation of fixes that are not a part of the internal installation storage and there is no connection to Empower, Update Manager will require you to navigate to an image that contains these fixes.
After a successful revert, the state of each fix on the product installation is displayed after the fix name as installed, uninstalled or unchanged. This helps you to identify what was changed in order to revert back to the selected state of product fixes.
