RE: V7R3 to V7R1 rollback plan

We opened a SEV1 yesterday, waiting to hear back from IBM developer.

On the V7R1 rollback restore, I'd only want to restore IBM objects, no user data.

Restore System and User Data
22. System data only

Will this work?

Or do I need to
1) Reinstall V7R1 from DSLO image
2) Then restore 22. System data only

I agree with Jim. While I am not aware of any Specific updates to objects in this upgrade there are almost always some. Common examples of objects that get internal changes are user profiles and database objects. In some cases you can restore them back to i 7.1 if saved that way but I wouldn't bet that restoring IBM i 7.1 on top of 7.3, if it even allows you to do that' is a workable option.

Use the backups!

We just upgraded from V7R1 to V7R3.

Multiple attempts to resolve unsuccessful.

I need a V7R3 to V7R1 rollback plan.

Either

1) Restore system files only from V7R1 save before upgrade.
2) Reinstall from a V7R1 DSLO image (dated)
3) Other

Anyone ever do a rollback and have any history notes for reference?

Thank You
