Returning the Dynamic Workload Console to a previous product version level

Complete this procedure to return the Dynamic Workload Console to a previous product version level.

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 the Dynamic Workload Console to a previous product version by running the dwcinst script. Launch the script on the workstation where the Dynamic Workload Console is running.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the workstation where you plan to install the Dynamic Workload Console.
  2. Download the installation images from Flexnet.
  3. Browse to the folder <image_location>.
  4. Start the installation launching the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript dwcinst.vbs --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir <INST_DIR>
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./dwcinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir <INST_DIR>

    where <INST_DIR> is the directory where the Dynamic Workload Console is installed.

    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.
