Returning the master domain manager and its backup to a previous product version level

Complete this procedure to return the master domain manager and the backup master domain manager to a previous version.

About this task

To perform this operation, you need to download the installation image of the version you want to return to.

Note: If you used the new functions introduced with the latest release, you cannot roll back your environment to the previous version because new records have been created in the database and they are not compatible with previous versions.

Return a master domain manager and a backup master domain manager to a previous product version level by running the serverinst script. Launch the script on the workstation where the master domain manager is running to revert the master domain manager, then launch the script on the workstation where the backup master domain manager is running to revert the backup master domain manager.

Procedure

  1. Log in as root or Administrator to the workstation where you plan to install.
  2. Download the installation images from Flexnet.
  3. Browse to the folder <image_location>/TWS/interp_name.
  4. Start the installation launching the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript serverinst.vbs --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./serverinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR

    where <INST_DIR> is the directory where the components are installed. To find out the installation directory, see Finding out what has been installed in which HCL Workload Automation instances.

    Note: The acceptlicense and inst_dir parameters are required. All other parameters are ignored by serverinst command, except for the following three optional parameters: lang, work_dir and skipcheckprereq.
