Thank you goes out to Niraj Kumar.

The workflow:

System policy is updated in new VDC:

Some of the interesting output:

Make sure the tasks are updated with your inputs (Or make global workflow variables out of these task variables and link them) :

On Rollback the System Policy is deleted:

Custom task to delete System Policy is included:

Rollback:

So I added roll back for the service Delivery policy… here is the code… (workflow and task are coming..) this is just a FYI how this works…

function registerUndoTask()

{

     // register undo task

     var undoHandler = "custom_Delete System Policy";

     var undoContext = ctxt.createInnerTaskContext(undoHandler);

     var undoConfig = undoContext.getConfigObject();

     undoConfig.SystemPolicyName = syspoltmp;

logger.addInfo("Registering syspoltmp var: "+syspoltmp);

     ctxt.getChangeTracker().undoableResourceModified("DeleteSystemPolicy-Commands-Undo",

                "DeleteSystemPolicy "+ syspoltmp,

                 "DeleteSystemPolicy: "+ syspoltmp,

                "DeleteSystemPolicy: "+ syspoltmp,

                undoHandler,

                undoConfig);

}

#1 custom_Delete System Policy

                - this is actually a new task –

                - you can register a task for roll back

#2 undoConfig.SystemPolicyName = syspoltmp

                - this is where you register the exact variable names the task is using and its desired input at roll back time…

                - in this case we want to delete the system policy with the name we gave it when it was created

Attached is the whole workflow and its components before they were tweaked to generate more output.
