Rolling back to a restore point
Use the prpcServiceUtils tool to roll back your system to a restore point. For example, if you created a restore point before doing a major system update, and the system update causes a serious problem, you can roll back to the restore point so that your system behaves as it did before the update.
prpcServiceUtils
tool.
You can specify which rule and data instances are returned to the previous state:
- System: Roll back every rule and data instance with a history record. This is the default setting.
- User: Roll back rule and data instances modified by a specific user.
- Application: Roll back rule and data instances in a specific application.
Follow these steps to roll back to a restore point:
-
Configure the common properties of the
prpcServiceUtils.properties
file. The pega.response.type must be JSON.Property name Value Required for Pega Cloud clients? 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
Yes pega.rest.username
The operator name on the target system with access to REST services. Yes pega.rest.password
The password of the specified operator. Yes pega.rest.proxy.host
The host name of the REST proxy server. Do not use localhost as the host name.
Required only when using a proxy for a URL. pega.rest.proxy.port
The port for the REST proxy server.
Required only when using a proxy for a URL. pega.rest.proxy.username
The operator name on the REST proxy server with import and export access.
Required only when using a proxy for the URL pega.rest.proxy.password
The password of the REST proxy operator.
Required only when using a proxy for the URL pega.rest.proxy.domain
The domain of the REST proxy server.
Required only when using a proxy for the URL pega.rest.proxy.workstation
The workstation ID for the REST proxy server.
Required only when using a proxy for the URL 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
.Not required 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 .
Not required - Configure the scope for the rollback:
SystemRollback Set rollback.action=SystemRollback
UserRollback Set: rollback.action=UserRollback
rollback.userName=
<Operator ID>
ApplicationRollback Set: rollback.action=ApplicationRollback
rollback.applicationName=
<application name>rollback.applicationVersion=
<application version>
For example:rollback.action=UserRollback rollback.userName= MyUserID
- By default,
the rollback process runs in asynchronous mode. In asynchronous mode, the system queues
the job and returns a job ID for each operation. You can later use this job ID to check
the status of the rollback operation.
rollback.async=
true - As a best
practice, leave the downloadLogToFile parameter with the default value of true to write
the log to a file.
rollback.downloadLogToFile=
true - Save and close the
prpcServiceUtils.properties
file. - Run the prpcServiceUtils.bat or prpcServiceUtils.sh script with the rollback option,
for example:
prpcServiceUtils.bat rollback
Optional: Pass one or more arguments.
prpcServiceUtils script argument Value connPropFile
The full path to the serviceConnection.properties
file that includes information for multiple targets.poolSize
The thread pool size. Default is 5. requestTimeOut
How long the system waits for a response before failing with a time-out error. Default is 300 seconds. jobIdFile
The path to the job IDs file that is generated by the asynchronous operation. propFile
The full path to the properties file, to override the default prpcServiceUtils.properties.
