Uninstalling fix packs

DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Uninstalling fix packs

For Linux® and UNIX® operating systems, you can go back to an earlier fix pack level by reinstalling an earlier fix pack. On Windows® operating systems, after a fix pack is applied, you cannot go back to a previous fix pack unless you uninstall the current fix pack, then install the previous fix pack.

On Linux or UNIX operating systems, to uninstall a fix pack, use the installFixPack command with the force option (-f) to bypass the level check. The command must be run from the lower level fix pack image. For example:
```
./installFixPack -f level -b DB2DIR
```
where
- DB2DIR is the location of the DB2® product that you want to force to a lower level fix pack image. For example:
```
./installFixPack -f level -b /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7
```
On Windows operating system, to uninstall a fix pack, use the Add/Remove Programs window, accessible through the Windows Control Panel. Refer to your operating system's help for more information about removing software products from your Windows operating system.
