Add-On Removal/Downgrade

[Shival Tailor]

Hello,

 

Following is an issue I am trying get brainstormed:

1. There was an error in the system
2. Proposed solution was to upgrade PI_BASIS component from 2005_1_700 patch level 9 to 2006_1_700 patch level 9
3. PI_BASIS was upgraded upto 2006_1_700 patch level 8
4. Patch level 9 would trigger many other activities of fullfilling pre-reqs and upgrading other components, so PI_BASIS wasn't brought upto Patch level 9
5. Now, the proposed solution changed to apply a correction transport attached with a Note instead because Patch Level 9 wasn't possible.
6. Now, having upgraded PI_BASIS to 2006 version with Patch Level 8 already added many additional activities in a Live environment and they have to be avoided
7. Solution being downgrade PI_BASIS from 2006 version to original 2005 version
8. In order to carry out the above change, either delete 2006 version from the system and install 2005 version OR perform a downgrade directly from 2006_1_700 patch level 8 to 2005_1_700 patch level 9

 The Questions: 

1. Is #8 above possible at all?
2. Does anyone know how to perform either of the 'Remove an Add-On' and/or 'Downgrade an Add-On'? 

Any help is highly appreciated. 

Thanks for your time and support.

 

Regards,

 

Shival

Hi,

 

My understanding says that there is no such utility or SAP supported work-around available to do this. Unfortunately, DB Backup isn't available to restore in my case so that's not an option.

 

If anyone has any further ideas or have seen this being done somewhere then please share your experience, else this thread can be closed now.

 

Thanks,

Shival
