As mentioned by Anthony Grist and dbreaux, there is no rollback facility.

You can do this though.

  1. Shut down the current server
  2. Create another server with the same port(s) (if you don't wnat to change anything) as the current server
  3. Install the new copy/versions of your application to the new server.

Test things out.

If things fail, shut down your new server. Turn on your current server and you are good to go. The same approach can be used for both clustered as well as non-clustered environments.

If you haven't yet deployed the new version, you can export a copy of the existing application as an EAR file through the WAS console (which you can then use as a backup to deploy if there are problems with the new version). In WAS 6.1, the process looks like this:

Applications > Enterprise Applications > Select the relevant application > Export.
