LCM Rollback feature?

Hi

How does the LCM rollback feature work in theory?

Let’s say

  1. I’ve Webi report ‘x’ in QA system
  2. I promote a modified version of webi report ‘x’ from DEV to QA using LCM. So now I’ve ‘x1’ in QA.
    2 I “rollback” this promotion job in LCM. Which means I’ve get back ‘x’ in QA system.

So does this mean that LCM kept a “backup” copy of ‘x’ in QA (CMS+filestore file backup) before overwriting with the promoted ‘x1’ from DEV?

If yes, does it clear the ‘x’ anytime from QA? (maybe after second iteration of ‘x2’?)

Thanks

Yes.
I believe that you configure it with the amount of roll back points you wish to store.

Hi

You can roll back only the most recent instance of a job promotion. You cannot roll back two job instances at the same time.

As such I still want to know if my understanding of rollback feature is correct… ?

Hi Deep

What that means is that if you had five iterations and rolled back, the fifth would be removed, from job history, then you would have the option to roll back to version 4, if you wish.
Rollback happens one iteration at a time, make sense?
You should think of these as snapshots of the promotions / system.

Cheers,

Mark.
