Issue
For a Virtual application (OVA) with customer-supplied database, what is the back out (rollback) option when implementing application patches in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Version 7.1 environment?
Resolution
- /home/oracle/deploy/acm_backup.sh
- /home/oracle/deploy//acm_restore.sh
The backup procedure applies only to hardware appliance, software bundle, and virtual application (OVA) deployments. The backup procedure also backs up keystore files in following directory:
- For RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle version 5.5 or 6.x: /home/oracle/wildfly-<wildfly-version>/server/default/deploy/keystore
You can restore a product version only on a machine that has the same version installed. You must also use a database dump from the same version to restore the database data and associated KEK and keystore files.
For more information, please review following sections from Appendix C: Maintenance of the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.1 Installation Guide:
- Back up the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Application on page 210
- Restore RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle on page 211
The process of reinstalling the .ova would be as described in Chapter 5 Virtual Application Installation of the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.1 Installation Guide. Then you can apply desired/previous patch to which you want to roll back.
The recommended approach would be to use RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Backup and Restore Script, as mentioned above for supported deployments.
