Uninstalling fix packs from IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 or 7.1 using the GUI

You can roll back IBM® WebSphere® SDK Java™ Technology Edition to an earlier version using the Installation Manager GUI.

Before you begin

During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your computer when you install a package. If you change the default setting or delete the saved files, Installation Manager requires access to the repository that was used to install the earlier version.
