directed, "Backup a Transport Global", then routines will have the
ability to be restored from the "backup" MailMan message that was

Services
ticket with the Enterprise Service Desk (ESD) for assistance with the
procedure.
For VistA patches, the general strategy for back-out is to repair the
code with another follow-on patch. Depending on each individual patch,
sites will be given a procedure detailing how to complete the back-out.
If any issue(s) with the software are discovered after it is nationally
released the development team will research the issue and provide
guidance for any immediate, possible work around.
Long-term solutions will be one of the following: installation of a
follow-up patch to correct the defect, a follow-up patch to remove the
defective updates, or a procedure detailing how the software can be
safely backed out of the production system.
