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

For application resiliency, roll back an edition when there are errors with your currently active application edition. You can revert to the previous edition of the application. Rollback the current edition by rolling out a previous edition.

Procedure

  1. Expand Applications > Edition control center in the administrative console. Select the former edition, for example 1.0.
  2. Click Rollout. This action launches an interruption-free replacement of the current edition with the selected previous edition.

Results

The former application edition is active.

What to do next

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