Performing a rollback on an edition
If you perform a rollout on a new edition and an error exists in your application, you can undo your change and easily revert back to the previous edition. To roll back to the edition, perform the rollout steps, but select a former edition to replace the current edition.
Before you begin
If you are a user with either a monitor or an operator role, you can only view the application edition manager information. If you have the role of configurator or administrator, then you have all the configuration privileges for the application edition manager.
The edition to which you want to roll back must be in the system. If your edition is not in the system, install the edition and specify edition information that indicates that the edition is earlier than your current edition. For example, if the current edition is 2.0, specify the edition that you want to roll back to as 1.0. Select the same deployment targets for both editions. Clone the work classes from the current edition to the previous edition.
About this task

Procedure
- Expand Select the former edition, for example 1.0. in the administrative console.
- Click Rollout. This action launches an interruption-free replacement of the current edition with the selected previous edition.
Results

What to do next
Troubleshoot errors with the newer application edition, and perform an edition rollout to activate the newer edition.
