Restore points store the rule and data instance states at significant points in time, for example, before you import an application. With Pega Platform ™ 8.4, you can opt to roll back only those changes associated with a single user or an application. Use the prpcServiceUtils tool on a running instance of Pega Platform to roll back changes to a restore point.

Edit the prpcServiceUtils.properties file to configure the scope of your rollback:

############################### ROLLBACK ##########################################

###################################################################################

# NOTE: Rollback only supports JSON results

Importing an application automatically creates a restore point. You can also manually create restore points at other times. For more information, see Creating a restore point .
