Rolling Back a Task
In My webMethods, you can roll back task activity to any available audit point in the task's audit history. When you roll back a task, all of the task's audit information is retained, but the actual task status, priority, assignment, and other task data is reset to match the task data in effect at the time of the selected audit point.
After you roll back a task, you can also use the roll back feature to "roll forward" a task to a later audit point. For example, if you roll back to audit point number 10, and you also have an available audit point number 25, you can use the roll back feature to "roll forward" to audit point number 25 after you roll back to audit point number 10.
You cannot roll back individual voting steps for votable tasks. When rolling back a task to an audit point that is positioned between voting steps, Task Engine preserves all votes.
With proper permissions, you can roll back a task from the Task List Management page, or from any task inbox.
*To roll back a task
1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Monitoring > Business > Tasks > Task List Management, or to My Inbox or to a task type inbox.
2. In the results list, click the Task ID or Custom ID link to open the task you want to modify.
