Revisions

What can I do here?

In this view you can see the history of published all changes to configuration settings in your deployment. You can see:

• The status of each session after the change was published
• The session name and tags
• The administrator who published the changes
• The time and date of the changes

You can:

• Launch SmartConsole in read-only mode to see the selected session
• Purge (delete) all data older than the selected session

Getting Here - Manage & Settings > Revisions Or: SmartConsole for Multi-Domain Server > Multi Domain > Revisions Or: Install Policy > Select a Policy > View changes link

Revision Options

The Revisions view shows this information about each revision:

• Publish Time - Date and time when the administrator published the session
• Name - Name of the database version assigned during the session
• Publisher - ID of the administrator that published the changes
• Changes - Number of changes published
• Description - Of the changes

The list shows the versions by number.

• The Summary tab pane shows a brief summary of the changes made in each version.
• Right-clicking a version in the list lets you purge the selected revision and revisions older than the one selected. All data from the selected revision and those prior to it are deleted. The revert operation returns the Rule Base to an earlier version but does not:
  • Revert network objects to their earlier versions.
  • Revert CA data.
  • Create a report of the expected outcome of the operation, as in R77 and lower.
• Right-clicking a version and selecting View from the menu opens a new instance of SmartConsole in read-only mode.

  The new instance of SmartConsole lets you see the state of the database at the time the version was created.

Important - Version control is not supported when the Security Management Server database contains VSX objects.

In a Multi-Domain environment, the list shows the revisions made to the domain SmartConsole is connected to.
