How to Rollback a Web Content Project

You can manually rollback a Web content project by using the project's Action menu Rollback command. You rollback a project to undo the content updates that you published on a destination server.

You can issue the Rollback command in one of the two following ways:

  • From the Commerce Server Staging (CSS) Microsoft Management Console (MMC) project's Action menu Rollback command.

  • Issuing a Rollback command through the command line, specifying the project name and destination server:

    css.exe rollback <projectname> /server <servername> /user <username> [pass | *] 
    

The Rollback command is only available under the following circumstances:

  • The project successfully completed replication on the destination server.

  • You have enabled rollback on the destination server where Web content was replicated.

  • You have not exceeded the number of rollbacks that are allowed for the destination server.

    Note

    In order to rollback a replication, you must have permission to manage the project. You have permission if you are a member of the CSS Operators or CSS Administrators group or have project-level permission.

To rollback a project

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 , and then click Commerce Server Staging.

  2. In the Commerce Server Staging console, in the left pane, expand Commerce Server Staging, expand <server name> that corresponds to the endpoint server whose content you want to roll back, and then click Projects.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each endpoint server whose content you want to rollback.
