Restoring a previous installation of RICOH ProcessDirector
Reverting to any past installation lets you effectively uninstall recently added features,
extensions, or updates.
- Important:
- When restoring an installation that removes a feature from the system, you must perform a cleanup before attempting to restore the installation. You must disable any objects added when the feature was installed. If there are features containing step templates and if the step templates are used in a workflow outside the provided samples, you must remove the step templates before removing the feature. Features that are removed are marked with the Remove label in the Restore Details tab of the Installation History dialog.
When you restore a previous installation of RICOH ProcessDirector to remove a feature, we recommend:
