As you install, upgrade, and uninstall software into the CICS® Explorer, configuration snapshots
are kept in a history. Reverting to a previous configuration allows
you to back out of the results of an unsuccessful install, upgrade,
or uninstall.
About this task
This example task shows you how to revert the CICS Explorer to a previous configuration.
- Click Help > Software Updates on
the menu bar.
- Click the Installed Software tab
and click Revert Configuration. The revert
Software Configuration dialog is displayed showing a list of previous
configurations.
- Select the configuration to which you want to revert. When
you select a configuration the right-hand pane shows what was installed
in that configuration. Caution. The oldest entry in the list
of previous configurations represents the initial CICS Explorer installation. This configuration
has no contents. Do not revert to this configuration. If you
do, CICS Explorer™ will
fail and must be completely re-installed. Click Finish.
- Click Yes when asked to exit and
restart the Workbench for the changes to take effect.
