Uninstalling WebSphere Commerce Developer fix packs with the IBM Installation Manager

You can uninstall WebSphere Commerce Developer fix packs using the IBM Installation Manager that you used to install WebSphere Commerce Developer. Fix packs contain fixes that correct known problems and hence might prevent a service call from being placed. Before uninstalling a WebSphere Commerce fix pack, review this information.

    • If you installed WebSphere Commerce Developer and a fix pack at the same time, this option removes both the fix pack and WebSphere Commerce Developer.
    • If you installed a fix pack after installing WebSphere Commerce Developer, use the Roll Back option.
    Roll Back Roll back reverses updates. If you used the Update option to apply a fix pack to an existing WebSphere Commerce development environment; then use this option to uninstall the fix pack.
