  • Back out a batched update set by following the backout procedure for the base update set for the batch. You can also back out any child update set independently.

    The following rules apply when backing out an update set that belongs to a batch:
    • If the update set has a parent value, the system clears the parent value and treats the update set as an independent update set, or as a new batch base if it has any children.
    • The system backs out the selected update set, plus any children of the backed-out update set.

    Example of backing out a batched update set

    If you back out Update Set 1.1 from the batch shown in List of batched update sets before backing out an update set, the result is the batch shown in List of batched update sets after backing out Update Set 1.1.
