Is there a PDM Template to roll back to a pre-deployment Restore Point?
When execute PDM API, it generates a Rest Point before importing the Product being deployed.
Looking through the Pega Documentation, the only way to run the Restore Point is to use the prpcserviceutil.
Can PDM do the same? PDM could save the RP as part of the archive, to be able to revert if required.
Or do I need to have PDM call a Jenkins Job with the specific RP and Database Configuration, which calls prpcserviceutil (this seems awkward and prone to mistakes).

@RobertK33 I had the same question, and was wondering why pega doesnt allow for an explicit rollback step.
There seem to be a workaround though....
On every deployment step into an environment, pega does create a rollback point. You could add a "manual step" as a checkpoint in your stage (list of steps). If you "reject" the manual step, PDM will allow you to "roll back" the deployment. This seems to be the default behavior when any step errors out. So it's a round about way of being able to do rollbacks.
One could also add another step that one knows is going to fail for sure, like adding a guardrail check for 100%. Any failed step seems to allow for a rollback.
Hope this helps....
