Honestly, I have tried so many ways to do this. I have trusted others with backout and regression plans that fail. To cover your six here are the methods I use.
Solaris & Oracle - Snapshots on the LDOMs (UFS restore if on non LDOMS) before any upgrades or patches, Oracle use appropriate db backups through OEM console (html) or EXPDP commands (command prompt), you could also use Snapshots for the oracle db if it is on an LDOM. Windows & SQL Server - Use snapshots for VM's on both the DB & app server. To be more certain of the DB you can use the appropriate SQL server backup option. To revert to snapshots literally only takes about 30 seconds. When there are customizations I like to ensure the use of Packing Lists. This allows me to quickly see groupings of customizations and all of their contents. Name them using dates and POC's. Hope this helps. ________________________________ From: patchsk <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2011 4:51 PM Subject: Re: How to rollback the changes once we depolyed on the server? There is no easy automatic way. Incase of a mass release db restore is an ideal option. But for small and medium releases it is not an ideal option. Usually you create a change ticket per feature. And document the workflow being touched on each change ticket and attach the backup instructions with the code. You can refer that during the rollback. If you really need to automate then you end up creating custom scripts, I do not think not many people do that.
