Chapter 7 Promotion Backouts : Backing Out Target Promotions

Backing Out Target Promotions
Target promotions can be backed out and associated objects restored to their state prior to the promotion.
If the change request contains a rule to execute, the backout function does not reverse the resulting effects. Depending on the effect of your rule to execute, if any, you must ensure that you have a backup of the MetaStor or of the appropriate tables, and then restore the affected data from the backup made prior to promotion of the change request.
User Access
Before backing out a promotion, ensure that users who can access objects in the affected change requests are logged out of the system. To maintain integrity in your system, all users should be logged out of the system. You should also prevent other users from logging in by selecting the option Suspend User Access from the Change Request Management menu.
Backout Requests Screen
When you select the menu option Backout Requests from the Target Promotion Administration menu, a screen similar to the following appears:
