Just want to verify, if you have installed a specific APAR in your system, can you still remove it? how?

Bonsky,

If you only applied it then:

instfix -ivk APARNO

This will list the filesets updated by the APAR.

Then:

smitty reject

F4 to list and select the filesets listed above, of course do a preview first.

I know 'aixmurderer' asked the question, so I don't want to step on any toes here, but yes you can uninstall the applied APAR. From the main SMIT menu select:

o Software Installation and Maintenance
o Reject Applied Software Updates (Use Previous Version)

Then select from the software that is in the applied state.

Excellent advice guys, couldn't have done better myself. Isn't AIX a pure pleasure administrating?
