Restoring migrated components to previous versions

You can restore migrated components to previous versions of WebSphere® Event Broker.

For some components, you restore them to the previous version and their original state; for other components, you restore them to the previous version, but keep any changes that you have made to them, such as deployed message flows.

You might want to restore components if you encounter a problem after you have migrated your broker domain to Version 6.0. By restoring components to the previous level, you can fix the problem with Version 6.0. You do not need to restore the entire domain; restore only those components that are causing a problem. For example, if a message flow does not work as expected in Version 6.0, restore that broker until you can resolve the problem.

You can restore components to a previous version only if they were migrated from that version originally. You cannot create a new Version 6.0 broker, then restore it to a previous level. Nor can you create a Version 2.1 broker, migrate it to Version 6.0, then restore it to Version 5.0.

The topics in this section explain how to restore components and resources that you have migrated from Version 5.0 or Version 2.1 products back to their original state:
