Hello!
I deployed a new version of Java Runtime Environment to all machines by creating a new application with supersedence relationship to the old version with uninstall option active - worked fine - most of the machines updated to the new version.
Now I wonder if I can remove the old version application package e.g. by removing deployments and retiring or even deleting the application - but there are open questions:
Some machines did not update to the new version yet - if I remove all deployments from old application and retire / delete it - what happens to these machines if they want to update in future? Uninstall of the old application will not be possible any more because the old application and deployment type (with uninstall command) has been deleted. Installation of the new version will fail, is that right?
What if I only remove deployments from old application - will uninstall deployment type of the old application still work?
What if I remove deployments from and retire the old application - will uninstall deployment type of the old application still work?
