Staging: Allow restore from upstream server

Staging: Allow restore from upstream server

In a multi-server staging environment (3+), allow restoring selected configuration from the upstream server back to the previous environment. "Reverse Staging". In a highly active solution development environment, with multiple developers making administrative changes to Integrity, there are cases where changes move from DEV to TEST, and then are no longer needed, or a conflict is found requiring rework. In these scenarios, the ideal solution would be to reverse-stage the previous changes back.

 

Example:

     25 field updates are made in DEV, then staged to TEST. Someone realizes that those changes weren't what was needed.

 

Today, someone would have to look at history for each of those fields in DEV, and manually edit all of them fields to reverse the changes. If reverse staging were available, the fields could be staged back from PROD to TEST to DEV, essentially restoring DEV and TEST to the same level as PROD, without manual edits and the possibility of making the whole situation worse my someone making mistakes.

Thank you for submitting this idea; however PTC Integrity R&D is not considering implementing this idea in the nearest future.
