Uninstalling WebSphere Commerce interim fixes

Uninstalling the interim fix restores the WebSphere Commerce product files to the previous level.

If you applied an interim fix to a WebSphere Commerce instance, you must uninstall the interim fix from that instance before you uninstall the fix from the WebSphere Commerce product.

  • If the component services feature is enabled on an instance after applying the interim fix to the WebSphere Commerce installation directory, you cannot uninstall the interim fix from the WebSphere Commerce instance.
  • If the component services feature is disabled from an instance after applying the interim fix to the WebSphere Commerce installation directory, you are not required to uninstall the interim fix from the WebSphere Commerce instance.
  • For all other scenarios, if you applied an interim fix to a WebSphere Commerce instance, you must uninstall the interim fix from that instance before you uninstall the fix from the WebSphere Commerce product.
