Procedure 9.4. Rollback a patch from a JBoss EAP 6 server instance using the Management CLI

1. From the Management CLI, use the patch info command to find the ID of the patch that is to be rolled back.
   • For cumulative patches, the patch ID is the value of the first cumulative-patch-id shown in the patch info output.
   • Individual security or bug fix patch IDs are listed as the value of the first patches shown in the patch info output, with the most recently applied individual patch listed first.
2. From the Management CLI, rollback the patch with the appropriate patch ID from the previous step.

   [standalone@localhost:9999 /] patch rollback --patch-id=PATCH_ID --reset-configuration=TRUEpatch rollback --patch-id=PATCH_ID --reset-configuration=TRUEpatch rollback --patch-id=PATCH_ID --reset-configuration=TRUEpatch rollback --patch-id=PATCH_ID --reset-configuration=TRUE
