Revert to prior policy dosn't work

[Sven]

Hi,

due to a policy change (delete unused rules and objects)  i would like to revert to another policy prior the change because of an error within the rules.

So i have made this by "Installation history" and chosse the policy to revert and it was succesfully.

But the deleted rules/objects from the reverted policy are didn't exist in the security rule set or in the object list.

Where can i find it ?

Best regards,

Sven

Hm, thats bit odd. I tried that before and never had an issue. What version is this?

Hi,

the version is R81.10

Thats exactly where I did it last time. Sadly, that lab had to be deleted for some Cisco stuff, so I only have R81.20 at the moment.

Installation History [SmartConsole > Security Policies > Access Tools > Installation History] will only open a new SmartConsole in Read Only with the database at the selected date (View installed changes). It does not have an ability to revert to that version. 

What you need is Revert To Revision - Manage & Settings > Sessions > Revisions > Select Revision > Actions > Revert to this revision...

I believe @Sven indicated that in his post already.

Oh, I thought he referred to Installation History in the first post.

Anyways, Revert to Revision does not work between versions like R81.10 and R81.20

He did say word revert, so Im fairly positive he did it properly : - )

Anyway, it worked for me in R81.10 lab before and I just tried it in R81.20 too and was fine.

Guys many thank to you it works, you are my heroes.😃

I have never done this before and from my perspective there was no difference between "Installation history" because also here can i choose "Install specific version" and i get the succesfully message. 

that this is not meant at all...

Br,

btw,

just recognized today. There seems to be a difference.

Installation History:  If you made 3 changes on the same day, it does not allow you to install from this day. Only from days before.

Via the menu "Revert To Revision" I'm able to select the exact revision.
