Restore and Rollback an Object

Restore one or more Application services configurations from the current config to a preferred config and apply it on multiple devices. AppViewX enables to compare the configuration before proceeding with the restoration. During the restoration, the complete hierarchy of the selected object(s) will be restored in a step-by-step manner. AppViewX will consider the recent device backup as the source to roll back the configurations. On successful restore, configurations will be updated in the device. In case of failure, an automatic rollback will be initiated by AppViewX.

To restore an object:

  1. Go to Go to Menu > ADC+ > CONFIG MANAGEMENT > Restore Configuration.
    The Restore tab opens.
  2. Select the Restore Type: Object.
  3. Select the Source device, Archive to be used for restore.
  4. Select the objects that need to be restored.
  5. Select the destination devices (it could be one or more devices), and then click Proceed.
  6. The screen refreshes and displays a table that compares the latest device backup and the selected archive configuration with change highlighted. Each object can be expanded and viewed:

    • Yellow - Modified line

    • Green - Added line

    • Reg - Deleted line

  7. Validate the changes against the latest backup and the configuration that is going to be restored. Enter a reason for restore and proceed.
  8. AppViewX will proceed with restoring the particular configuration of the objects selected in a step-by-step manner.
  9. A Work Order ID will be generated to track the progress anytime. (Track the IDs in the Work order tab)
  10. During restoration, if AppViewX identifies any issues with respect to even one of the objects, an automatic configuration Rollback will be triggered, which can be tracked in the work order.
    A manual Rollback can also be initiated on a need basis.
