Question on Backups for Palantir Foundry Ontology Edits

Ask the Community
1

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if there are any methods for backing up Ontology edits. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to “rollback” user edits on an Ontology. Kind of like on a database where you can save backups and roll back to any time in the past.

I know there’s a way to “time-travel” if your data is a dataset. But I’m having a hard time figuring out if there’s a way to do this for Ontology edits.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! @arac_codespace

I think there’s no such built in functionality by default.

But what you could do:

Under your Action > Capabilities → Enable Action Log

It will save each User Edit with a timestamp and so on.

So it will allow you in the future to e.g with another custom action to rollback specific edits. Nice thing is that it allowes you to filter for e.g a specific users actiont that you might want to rollback and not everything.

(P.S. Also sometimes really cool to show this log in your applications, so users can see which actions were performed to a certain object in the past)

Edit to my post above:

  1. Also under the Object Type itself > Datasource you can enable: Object edits history.

And 1.1) Enable object edit history 1.2) Store all properties
