After you upgrade your Tivoli® Monitoring environment, you cannot restore the environment to the previous level. If you uninstall Tivoli Monitoring after an upgrade, all of Tivoli Monitoring is removed, and any subsequent installation is equivalent to installing for the first time.
The same is true for ITCAM for SOA. After you upgrade your environment from a previous version of ITCAM for SOA to version 7.2 or later, there is no way to return to the previous version. If you uninstall ITCAM for SOA after an upgrade, all of ITCAM for SOA is removed, and any subsequent installation is equivalent to installing for the first time.
Tivoli Monitoring does not support uninstalling the ITCAM for SOA application support files from the Tivoli Monitoring environment. After you install the ITCAM for SOA application support files on a Tivoli Enterprise Portal, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server or Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server computer, there is no way to remove these support files without completely uninstalling all of Tivoli Monitoring.
This also means that you cannot uninstall the SOA Domain Management Server or Tivoli Common Object Repository support from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server configuration, or remove it from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server computer.
