Hi,

We are planning to upgrade to UIM version 8.47.

Our client is asking for a rollback plan. 

Could you let me know how exactly will a rollback from 8.2 to 7.5 work? Because both the database / application schema is most likely to be different from each other (NMS-UIM).

I wonder will it work by simply moving old Nimsoft files and restart of Nimsoft services?

I understand that Rollback from 8.47 to 8.2 will be easy and possible as they are versions based on the same updated UIM schema. Please suggest.

The only support method would be to restore from backup the entire 7.5 database and the entire nimsoft directory structure for the primary.

Most clients these days are using vmware images and take snapshots of the database instance and the uim primary server prior to starting the upgrade.

Support STRONGLY suggest TESTING your backup before starting the upgrade process.
