Rolling Back a Deployment

Rolling Back a Deployment

You can roll back a deployment to purge the deployed versions from the target repository or folder. When you roll back a deployment, you roll back all the objects in a deployment group that you deployed at a specific date and time. You cannot roll back part of a deployment or roll back from a non-versioned repository.
To initiate a rollback, you must roll back the latest version of each object. The Repository Service ensures that the check-in time for the repository objects is the same as the deploy time. If the check-in time is different, then the repository object is not the same as the object in the deployment, and the rollback fails. The rollback also fails if the rollback process causes you to create duplicate object names. This might occur if you rename a deployed object, create a new object with the same name, and attempt to roll back the original deployment.
To roll back a deployment:
  1. In the Repository Manager, connect to the target repository where you deployed the objects.
  2. Click Tools > Deployment > History.
  3. Select a deployment group in the Deployment Group History Browser, and click View History.
  4. Select a deployment to roll back.
  5. Click Rollback.
The Repository Service checks the object versions in the deployment against the objects in the target repository or folder, and the rollback either succeeds or fails. The rollback results appear at the end of processing. If the rollback fails, the Repository Service notifies you of the object that caused the failure.
