Paul,
What Larry and I were both alluding to and not quite loudly enough is during
the V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade many objects were changed, as Larry points out User
profiles, and many other "user objects" that IBM provides. I don't think
you'd be successful in your plan.
An alternative approach might be:
* Save user profiles. You can't pre-release that save.
* Save all user libraries with V7R1 level. You may find objects that will
not save, those are your problem children
* Save the IFS same way as the *ALLUSR libraries at V7R1. Again some
objects will not save. Problem children
* Restore system to previous point
* Restore your most recent saved objects to get back the data you would
have otherwise lost
* Deal with the problem children on a one off basis.
Personally I'd wait for the developer to respond first.

Subject: 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.
3rd party application that uses RPC is failing.
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
