This feature was introduced in 17.10.
The purpose of a rollback is to restore the target environment to its former state and should only be considered in a situation where the verification tests have determined that the promotion has encountered a significant failure of some kind.
Note that a rollback is not a decision that should be taken lightly, as it can require a lengthy and detailed process to restore components back to their previous state. Often it is preferable to adopt a fix-forward and rectify issues in situ if possible.
If a Transact function has been changed and it does not work as expected anymore, you can try to roll it back to the previous working version. This is only possible if:
- There are backups of previous Transact functions.
- There are records of changes made to the Transact function, known as the changelogis a record of changes to a software project or other technology product. This type of record has its own format for various types of projects, but is generally useful in showing when and why changes were made, and who made them..
To rollback a Transact function:
- Locate the previous Transact function backup, which is an exported ZIP archive file.
- Import it into Manager.
- Verify that it works as expected.
- Update your changelog.
