Downgrade Assigned Hosts to a Particular Policy Version

If you inadvertently assigned the wrong policy version to one or more hosts, or if you want to go back to an older version of a policy on specific hosts, you can downgrade a policy.

To downgrade assigned hosts to a particular policy version

1. In CA Access Control Enterprise Management click Policy Management, then Policy subtab, expand the Assignment tree in the task menu on the left, and click Downgrade Policy.

   The Downgrade Policy wizard appears at the Policy Selection task stage.

2. Complete the wizard, then click Finish after you read the summary.

   CA Access Control submits the policy downgrade task. For the policy to be downgraded on a host, CA Access Control creates a DEPLOYMENT task for the host to retrieve.

Note: You can also use the policydeploy utility to perform this task. For more information about the policydeploy utility, see the Reference Guide.
