Steps for performing undo all updates

Before you begin:

Steps to run the undo all updates task:

  1. Open the "Undo updates center" (see Undoing updates to a system configuration).
  2. If it is not selected, select Undo all updates in the task navigation area.
    Note:
    This radio button is only available if prior configuration changes have been successfully committed.

  3. Optionally, click Simulate to find out what exactly is going to happen to your system configuration during "Undo all updates". See Simulation for details.

    Tip: You can also click Browse requests to see the requests that are going to be processed. Depending on the service, browsing the requests or simulation can be more conclusive.


  4. Click Undo all updates to submit a job that performs "Undo all updates" on your system.

    This job can take a long time. The job progress can be seen in the progress bar at the bottom of the panel. The job status is displayed next to the progress bar.

    You do not have to keep the "Undo updates center" displayed during the entire time that the job is running. When the job finishes, you receive a job completion notification even if the "Undo updates center" is closed.

    You can even log off from the workplace as soon as the job has been submitted. You receive the job completion notification when you next log on if the job has finished by then.


  5. If the job finishes with an error, select View reports in the task navigation area to find out what went wrong. See View reports for details. You can rerun "Undo all updates" after you have resolved the cause of the error.
  6. Ensure that Undo all updates has been performed for all services.

    If the list of services contains services for which you are not authorized, these services were not included in the Undo all updates. Select each service in the list and click List authorized users. Inform one of the authorized users that Undo all updates is pending for the respective service.

    When Undo all updates has been performed successfully for all services in the list, Commit undone updates becomes available in the task navigation area. Select Commit undone updates to proceed with the "Commit undone updates" task.
