Fail-Safe Backout

Rarely, a bad test fix for CA CSM can render CA CSM itself inoperable. To correct the problem, you can use the MSMDEPLY job to restore the CA CSM runtime libraries and USS paths to an operable condition. Customize and submit the MSMDEPLY job with backout specified for arg1. After the job completes, restart CA CSM, and follow the normal procedure to use CA CSM to back out the bad test fix.

When the MSMDEPLY job is run with deploy specified, a copy of the current CA CSM runtime libraries and USS paths is saved before deployment. When the MSMDEPLY job is run with backout specified, that last saved copy of the CA CSM runtime libraries and USS paths is deployed.

Important! Only one saved copy of the CA CSM runtime libraries and USS paths is maintained. Each execution of the MSMDEPLY job with deploy specified replaces the last saved copy of the runtime libraries and USS paths with a new copy. You cannot back out multiple saved copies by running the MSMDEPLY job multiple times with backout specified.
