Steps for installing the fix pack as an update To find and install Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software fix pack 8.0.4.3 as an update:
Uninstalling the fix pack You can revert to the previous version by using the rollback feature of Installation Manager. For instructions on uninstalling the product, see the topic Uninstalling packages in the product information center. The rollback feature uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time. When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored with same features that were associated with that version; any features that you added after updating to fix pack 8.0.4.3 will be removed, and any features that you removed will be restored. During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If you changed the default setting or deleted the files by using the Remove Stored Files option on the Roll Back preferences page (File > Preferences > Rollback Files), Installation Manager will require access to your installation repository or media. If you installed the product from a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File > Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from disks or downloaded installation files, they must be available when you use the rollback feature. Before you roll back Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software fix pack 8.0.4.3, complete the following steps:
