Getting detailed information about a restore point

Use the prpcServiceUtils tool to display detailed information about a single restore point.

You can view the following information:

  • Rules and data that have been added, deleted, or edited since the restore point. This information includes the creator, label, key, and time stamp for each instance.
  • Link-Requirement, Link-TestCase, and Link-UseCase classes that have been added, deleted, or edited since the restore point.
You must have a running Pega Platform instance to use the prpcServiceUtils tool.
