How to revert back to a previous version of Pyramid

On this page, you will find how to revert back your Pyramid version to a previous one.

Pre-requisites:

  • A backup of the Pyramid repository from the version you wish to revert back to.
  • The installer of the version you need.

First Steps:

  • If it wasn't already done, If you're using an IMDB (In-Memory DB), backup the 'imdata' folder to restore later.
    The default location is: "C:\Program Files\Pyramid\repository\imdata"
  • If you're using publications, backup the below folder to have the ability to review and open published publications:
    "C:\Program Files\Pyramid\repository\general"
    This step should be done on each Pyramid server.
  • Copy the machine key from config.ini 
    (C:\Program Files\Pyramid\config.ini).
    After the reinstallation copy the old machine key to the new config.ini
    look for:
    [machine]
    installType=1
    host=myPyramidserver.com
    machineKey=0e93adc283152805cceb676d9a38ec1e
