Creating a restore point
Use the prpcServiceUtils tool to create a restore point to mark a significant point in time for your system so that you can later roll back changes made after that point. For example, you can create a restore point before you import an application.
Follow these steps to create a restore point:
- Configure the common properties of the
prpcServiceUtils.properties
file.Property name Value pega.rest.server.url
The URL for the REST service, specified in the following format:
For example:http://
<hostname>:
<port>/
<context>/PRRestService/
http://myhost:8080/prweb/PRRestService
pega.rest.username
The operator name on the target system with access to REST services. pega.rest.password
The password of the specified operator. pega.rest.proxy.host
The host name of the REST proxy server. Do not use localhost as the host name.
pega.rest.proxy.port
The port for the REST proxy server.
pega.rest.proxy.username
The operator name on the REST proxy server with import and export access.
pega.rest.proxy.password
The password of the REST proxy operator.
pega.rest.proxy.domain
The domain of the REST proxy server.
pega.rest.proxy.workstation
The workstation ID for the REST proxy server.
pega.rest.response.type
The REST response type, either xml
orjson
. The default value isjson
. Rollback, restore point, and update access group operations support onlyjson
.user.temp.dir
Enter the full path to the temporary directory. Leave this blank to use the default temporary directory. For more information about temporary directories, see Temporary files and temporary files directories .
- Configure the restore point action:
manageRestorePoints.action=
createThe system automatically creates the restore point name.
- Enter a descriptive restore point label of no more than 64 characters:
manageRestorePoints.restorePointLabel=
label - Save and close the
prpcServiceUtils.properties
file. - Run the prpcServiceUtils.bat or prpcServiceUtils.sh script with the manageRestorePoints
option, for example:
prpcServiceUtils.bat manageRestorePoints
Optional: Pass one or more arguments.
prpcServiceUtils script argument Value connPropFile
The full path to the serviceConnection.properties
