How to Revert Back to 10.3.0.1 After Patch Installation

The patch installer backs up all original 10.3.0.1 files that need to be changed to a backup directory (PT_HOME\backup_10.3.0.1.1) prior to updating. The backup preserves the folder structure of the original files so you can determine the full path of their original locations. To revert back to 10.3.0.1, perform the following steps on all machines that host WebCenter Interaction components:

  1. Stop the WebCenter Interaction services on the machine.
  2. Copy all the backed-up files from PT_HOME\backup_10.3.0.1.1 to their original locations.
  3. Delete or move the backup_10.3.0.1.1 folder.
  4. Delete or move all files in PT_HOME\uninstall\ptportal\10.3.0\register that contain 10.3.0.1.1.
  5. Delete or move all files in PT_HOME\installlogs that contain 10.3.0.1.1.
  6. Restart the WebCenter Interaction services on the machine.
