Rollback committed hotfixes in Production

Hi,

Is there any way to rollback the committed hotfixe(s)?

We have DB(data base) back ups before applying and committing the hotfix. Will reverting the DB backup let applied hotfix get rolled back completely?

1. I'm afraid that It may also make other changes besides hotfix rollback if we go with DB back up.

2. Any other way of rolling back the hotfix apart from using DB backup.

If there is no other ways are we left with only option1?

Hi Durga,


If your hotfix includes Pega -EngineCode changes only then there is one option to rollback the hotfix apart from DB backup (but this will not not work for hotfixes with any other changes).


You can use prbootstrap.properties file to define a point in time to which the processCommander implementation will ignore installed software fixes i.e. after this point of time any engine code change will not be picked up( the hotfix will be present but it will not be effectively working and will be disabled).


Hope this helps.
