For back-out purposes, it is highly recommended that a database backup of the Oracle database be taken using standard tools like RMAN for Oracle. Another option would be to export the FD, FD_ADMIN, and FF schemas using data pump. The schemas can be exported using the following data pump command :for Oracle as shown below. Follow standard procedures for PostgreSQL and MySQL for database backup.

expdp system directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=fd_bkup.dmp schemas=FD,FF,FD_ADMIN
If this database is exclusively used for just FlexDeploy application, you can rely on Database backup and recovery processes (RMAN) 
instead of export data procedure.

Step 4. From the FlexDeploy Tomcat distribution, copy /apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/webapps/flexdeploy.war into <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/webapps (overwrite existing file). If you want to take backup of existing file, please copy it outside of FlexDeploy installation folder to avoid confusion later.

Step 5. If using the Salesforce integration, from the FlexDeploy Tomcat distribution, copy /apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/lib/ant-salesforce.jar into <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/lib.

Step 6. Configure Tomcat logging as per Tomcat Logging Setup.

Step 7. If using IBM ClearCase, you will need to copy some jar files from your ClearCase server to the FlexDeploy installation

Copy all of the jar files found in the com.ibm.rational.teamapi_8.0.1.vxxx folder of your ClearCase server to <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/lib.

Step 8. Review context.xml changes as per FlexDeploy Release Notes.

Step 6. Copy plugins from download zip for auto upload.

Step 97 . Start tomcat by running the following script

<FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/bin/startup.sh (startup.bat on Windows)

Step 108. Launch FlexDeploy in your browser - http://<hostname>:<port>/flexdeploy

Step 119. There is no need to activate plugins manually. FlexDeploy will automatically upload and activate new versions of plugins once they are copied to plugins folder. You will notice that plugins that you copied in Step 8 will eventually be uploaded automatically and folder will not have any jar files left. You can also look at Administration - Plugins in UI and see newer versions of plugins.
