Committing or Rolling Back a Hot Fix

After you install a hot fix, you must commit or roll back the changes using the Software Managment utility.

  1. Start the Software Management utility by choosing Start > Dassault Systemes Simulation Services > Tools > Software Management or by running the following executable with administrator privileges:

    C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\SimulationServices\V6R2024x\InstallData\installer\setup.exe
          --mgt "C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\SimulationServices\V6R2024x\"

    This starts the GUI version of the utility on Windows; the Linux location is similar. The command-line TUI version is also available (StartTUI.exe and StartTUI.sh).

    The Software Management utility provides four commands:

    • List installed products
    • Check integrity
    • Commit
    • Rollback

    After installing a hot fix, you may want to spend some time using the hot fix for validation purposes, before making it officially available to your end users.

    Committing a hot fix means applying the hot fix to your installation so that it becomes the official working level. This deletes the outdated files of the previous level, saving disk space.

    After spending some time using the hot fix for validation purposes, you may find that the hot fix is not suitable. If this is the case, you can roll back the hot fix—rolling back uninstalls the files and restores the software level to the previous level.

  2. To commit the hot fix, select Commit and click Next.

    You should see this message:

    Commit successful

    The List installed products command will now show you the latest hot fix level.

  3. If you decide not to keep the hot fix upgrade, do the following:
    1. Manually stop any processes running in the installation directory.
    2. Select Rollback and click Next.
