				Good morning,
 
 
I have been instructed by our MQ admins that they can not uninstall FixPack 6 without overlaying any changes that have been made since it was installed.  They took a backup of the file system before they installed FixPack 6  on our test and QA environment.  We are seeing some really weird errors on flows that have worked fine for years and now are not working under heavy load.  I have ask them to back off the FixPack, but I don't want to losing all my changes from the past few weeks.  Would anyone know how to remove the FixPack 6 without just restoring the backup.
 
 
Thank you |

				| WMB 6.0.4 on AIX.  I just talked with the MQ admins and they are stating the only way to back out a FixPack is to re-install the broker.  I find it hard to believe that IBM would have that type of a solution to back out a fix pack. |

 Absolutely correct.

				| Thank you for the reply.  On that note, has anyone else had any problems with fixpack 6?  IBM has already sent us a fix for a bug we found.  We WERE scheduled to put this in production in two weeks, but that is not going to happen now. |
