Current configurations and their history View configuration

All versions Figure 30. View of all versions This view shows all versions of a specified configuration. If such a configuration is local, multiple entries may be marked as latest, one for each node. Latest nodes are also highlighted. The Length of this list is limited by rules for retaining older configurations see Configuration in database section. Clicking on a configuration name will show the configuration which is described in the row. Configuration view Figure 31. Configuration view This view shows specified configuration information including the content. There are also links to related versions of the configurations such as latest, later, older, or oldest. You can see these related configurations by clicking on the view icon or compare differences between the displayed version and a selected version by clicking the differences icon in the selected row. Page 337 Configuration view If the displayed configuration is not the latest, a Reactivate button appears in the window. Its function is to make the displayed configuration active after confirmation. It does so by adding it as a new configuration entry with the latest time stamp. Differences Figure 32. Differences This view can be invoked from the configuration view. It shows a comparison between two versions of the configuration. You can alter the options for differences comparison: whether it is case sensitive and whether the full text is shown or omitted.

1.11.2. Named collections of configuration List of named collections

Figure 33. List of named collections This view shows named collections of configurations which are stored in the database. It also allows you to capture the current state of configurations into such a collection so that you can later compare or restore them. Creating new collections is easy. Just fill in the name and optionally the description of the collection and press the Make a snapshot button. Once some collections are created, you can view their contents by clicking the name and compare them to the current set of configurations by clicking the differences icon. Activation of a collection means that all configurations that the collection holds will be added as new current configurations. Activation can be done on the collection as a whole by clicking the icon in this view or selectively on specified configurations by button in the collection configuration view. Before activation proceeds a confirmation is required. Page 339 List of named collections All Differences Figure 34. All Differences This is what a comparison between a collection and the current set of configurations looks like. It shows the differences of matching pairs of all configurations. Matching configurations where no differences appear are listed below. Non- matching configurations when the configuration appears in the collection only or in the current set only are also listed below. You can alter the options for differences comparison: whether it is case sensitive and whether the full text is shown or omitted. It is not recommended to show full text in all differences because the resulting page might get very long. Page 340 All Differences
