---|---|---|
Normal behavior. |
The installer replaces current files with previous backup. |
|
The patch history is missing (files are not found in the directory defined by the parameter PATCH_HISTORY_DIR in patch.conf) |
Without the history, the installer cannot determine which backups to use. Since there is nothing to replace them with, the installer does not remove the current files. |
|
You did not specify the most recent patch. |
The history indicates that the patch is not the newest backup. The installer must use the most recent backup to roll back. |
|
The backups are missing (expected files are not found in the directory defined by the parameter PATCH_BACKUP_DIR in patch.conf). |
Since there is nothing to replace them with, the installer does not remove the current files. |
|
The installer is partway through the roll back when there is a problem. The cluster contains some older files and some newer files. |
If the installer cannot complete, it reverses the rollback actions, removing the older files and returning the newer ones. |
