Backout and recovery

Undoing a system configuration allows you to reverse all updates that have been made on account of a service instance.

In case of errors, use the job reports and attempt to resolve any problems according to the error information in the report. If you cannot resolve the problem and resort to contacting a support team, you might be asked to take a workstation or host trace of the failed task.

The backup function allows you to preserve a good copy of key configuration data to safeguard that you can IPL a system even in the unlikely event that an update results in a damaged configuration resource with which you cannot IPL.
