Important: The PPT software does not provide an automated mechanism to downgrade (reverting to an older software version of PPT from a newer one). However, the PPT administrator can achieve this by first uninstalling the existing PPT installation using the instructions provided in the Uninstalling the PPT Software chapter and then installing the required older version of PPT using the instructions provided in the Installing the PPT Software chapter of this guide.
Caution: Uninstalling the PPT removes all the database related files of PPT build being uninstalled. However the PPT backup files (which contain database dump and PPT configuration files and are created every mid-night by default) persist if their location is outside the installation directory. These PPT backup files have compatibility for the same PPT version/build and therefore cannot be used with newer or older PPT builds.unzip <file_name>.zip
The file_name is the name of the downloaded PPT installation file package. For Linux machine, the file name is ppt_<version_number>_rhel_x86.zip; and for Sun Solaris machine, the file name is ppt_<version_number>solaris_sparc.zip.
