Rollback workflow

The rollback workflow can only be performed on a zCX appliance version 1.26.0 or higher. After completing rollback, the zCX instance must be restarted for the rollback to take affect. When rolling back to an appliance less than 1.26.0, any changes made in your Docker environment after performing the upgrade, including IBM License Metric Tool runs, will be lost.

Rollback workflow path: /usr/lpp/zcx_zos/workflows/rollback.xml

This workflow allows you to roll back an upgraded service and maintenance level of an existing zCX instance. It restores the ROOT VSAM data set and configuration files that were saved prior to upgrading.

The rollback workflow will only rollback the service level that was applied to an existing zCX instance, not the user data such as Docker images and containers.

The rollback workflow asks you to provide:
  1. The unique name of the zCX instance to rollback service and maintenance level
  2. The zCX instance registry path, if not specified in the workflow variables input file.
