BMC Helix SSO server configuration revert

As a SaaS administrator, you can roll back the ​​​​server configuration to a previous state through the BMC Helix SSO Admin Console. This feature enables administrators to quickly rewind the server settings up to the selected point in time, which enhances change management, expedites troubleshooting, and reduces downtime. The option, called Configuration archive, is configurable for individual tenants and is disabled by default. For more details and supported scenarios, see Reverting BMC Helix SSO server configuration.
