Listing restore points

Use the prpcServiceUtils tool on an active instance of Pega Platform to display a list of available restore points and basic overview information about each restore point.

You must have a running Pega Platform instance to use the prpcServiceUtils tool.

To see a list of restore points, follow these steps:

  1. Configure the common properties of the prpcServiceUtils.properties file.

    Property name Value
    pega.rest.server.url The URL for the REST service, specified in the following format:

    http:// <hostname> : <port> / <context> /PRRestService/ <tenant hash>

    For example:

    http://myhost:8080/prweb/PRRestService

    Include the tenant hash only for multitenant systems.

    pega.rest.username The operator name on the target system with access to REST services.
    pega.rest.password The password of the specified operator.
    pega.rest.proxy.host Optional: The host name of the REST proxy server. Do not use localhost as the host name.
    pega.rest.proxy.port Optional: The port for the REST proxy server.
    pega.rest.proxy.username Optional: The operator name on the REST proxy server with import and export access.
    pega.rest.proxy.password Optional: The password of the REST proxy operator.
    pega.rest.proxy.domain Optional: The domain of the REST proxy server.
    pega.rest.proxy.workstation Optional: The workstation ID for the REST proxy server.
    pega.rest.response.type The REST response type, either xml or json. The default value is json. Rollback, restore point, and update access group operations support only json.
    user.temp.dir Optional: Enter the full path to the temporary directory. Leave this blank to use the default temporary directory. For more information about temporary directories, see Temporary files and temporary files directories .
  2. Configure the restore point action:

    manageRestorePoints.action= list

  3. Save and close the prpcServiceUtils.properties file.
  4. Run the prpcServiceUtils.bat or prpcServiceUtils.sh script with the manageRestorePoints option, for example:

    prpcServiceUtils.bat manageRestorePoints

    Optional: Pass one or more arguments.

    prpcServiceUtils script argument Value
