Rollback Modes

The following are the four rollback modes for an event.

Note: Only two of the modes are available from the UI: roll back an event and roll back an event up to a specific step. All four modes are available from the command line.
  • Roll back a full event: this mode affects the event status along with the master data. Rollback of a single event impacts the record data and the event status in the following ways:
    • Event is deleted.
    • Any associated record is restored to an appropriate previous version or state.
    • No workflow is fired and it does not create a new event.
  • Roll back to a specific step in an event: in this mode you can select the step in an event to roll back up to. Roll back to an action against each step in the workflow.
    • Roll back the event till the selected step (including the selected step) and create a restore point so that the event can be restarted later using the restart event feature.
    • For the selected step, if PROCESSSTATEHISTORY does not have a parent PROCESSLOGID and ACTIVITYNAME, you cannot roll back from this step.
    • In this mode, rollback has limitation for a work item. Rollback does not restore the work item state, for example, from a closed state to an open state. In case the event being rolled back has activities that generated work items, then the steps must be before the creation of the work item or after the final step of the work item.
    • The event is not deleted from the Event Log page. Instead, the event is updated with the current status and steps.
      Note: You cannot roll back up to the first or second step.
  • Roll back the events starting from the specified event.
    • The master data affected by the events along with the events starting from the specified ID are rolled back.
    • Any associated record is restored to the previous version and state.
  • Rollback the events starting from the specified date: in this mode you select the master data on the basis of a specific date. The master data updated after the specified date (including the specified date) is affected.
    Note: When performing a rollback by specifying a date or till an event execution mode, it applies to all the enterprises.

    If the member name of the one performing a rollback is specified. The enterprise name must be specified.

All these modes revert the changes made to the master data and text index, and the image is replaced by data. Rollback deletes data from the database.

Note: For best results, do not to stop or kill the application or attempt to stop the rollback processing.
