Undo a plugin repair

[JJG_SNOW]

I recently reset the procurement plugin back to OOB via the repair option in the plugin.

Is there a way to undo this? I want the tables and forms to go back to exactly as they were before I repaired the plugin.

Hi @JJG_SNOW ,

Use the Rollback Contexts module to roll back patch upgrades and plugin activations.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Review this information and requirements before performing rollback:

• Rolling back is possible only between patches in the same software release. For example, Rolling back is possible from Orlando patch 2 to patch 1, but not from Orlando to New York.
• The rollback must be done within 10 days of the most recent upgrade or plugin activation. If you need to retain a rollback context for more than 10 days, you can do so by adding a system property. See Rollback context properties.
• You can only roll back to the previous version.

  For example, rolling back from patch 3 to patch 1 requires two rollbacks.

• You must have the Restore Deleted Records (com.snc.undelete) and Delete Recovery (com.glide.delete_recovery) plugins activated.
• You can only roll back one active instance at a time.

  Rolling back contexts on multiple nodes is not supported.

• A rollback deletes data and may remove evidence of an upgrade or activation record, which makes it difficult to debug the problem that made the rollback necessary.
• To roll back to a patch version before the Assigned WAR, submit a request for Customer Service and Support to do the rollback.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Rollback & Recovery > Rollback Contexts.
2. Select the context that you want to rollback.
3. Roll back by selecting the Rollback related link.
4. Confirm the rollback.
   An indicator appears showing the progress of the rollback. glide.war updates to the rolled-back version. The log shows the stages of the rollback process.
5. After the rollback is complete, log out of your instance and log back in again.
6. Open a new tab and see if the context state changed to Rolled back.
   If not, contact Customer Service and Support.

Reverting a plugin to a previous version is not possible.

If it concerns a sub-production instance, you could perform a system clone which would overwrite the plugin.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Unfortunately the plugin repair happened about a month ago. Is it too late?

Wouldn't that only work going forward? I don't think it would help in my current situation.
