Backing Out an Installed Change Package

The process of backing out an installed change package differs between an All environment and a DP/P environment.

Backing Out in an All Environment

For an A environment, follow these steps.

Access the Backout Change Package panel.

On the Backout Change Package panel, type the Package ID of the package you want to back out and press Enter. The site - Backout Reasons panel (CMNBKRSN) is displayed.

CMNBKRSN                       SERT6 - Backout Reasons
Command ===>__________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________

On the site - Backout Reasons panel, type up to nine lines of text explaining the reason why the package is being backed out. You must type at least one character on the panel. Press Enter.

When package components are backed out of production libraries and baseline libraries are reverse rippled, the package status is changed to BAK, as shown here on the Change Package List panel.

Note

You must back out and revert a package before you can change the components in a package. For revert instructions, see Reverting in an All Environment.

Backing Out at a Remote Site

Backing out a package in a P instance at a remote site is performed the same as backing out on an A instance.

Note

You can back out a package at all installed sites from the D or DP instance where the package was created. There is no requirement to logon to a P instance to back out a package there.

Backing Out in a DP/P Environment

For a DP/P instance, follow these steps.

Access the Backout Change Package panel.
On the Backout Change Package panel, type the Package ID of the package you want to back out, and press Enter.

If the package is installed at more than one site, the Backout: Site Information panel (CMNBKSTI) is displayed.

On the Backout: Site Information panel, select one or more sites from which you want to back the package out, and press Enter. The site - Backout Reasons panel (CMNBKRSN) is displayed for the first selected site.

On the site - Backout Reasons panel, type up to nine lines of text explaining the reason why the package is being backed out. You must type at least one character on the panel. Press Enter.

If the site from which you are backing out the package is a remote site, the Submit Remote Backout Request panel is displayed. The backout request job is submitted by the D or DP instance, and it connects to the P instance using TCP/IP to request the backout.

Update the Job Statement Information, if necessary, and press Enter to submit the remote backout request job.
If you selected additional sites for backout, the site-Backout Reasons panel is displayed for each site. Type backout reasons for each site, and submit the remote backout request if required.

When backout is completed for a site, the Site Status on the Backout: Site Information panel is changed to BAK.
