Configuration deviation
The Management application backs up the product configuration after a change is detected in the
product configuration. The initial copy of a product configuration backup becomes the baseline
configuration. Once the baseline configuration is established, the Management application
compares all additional product configuration backup files to the baseline configuration for
deviation. You can view configuration deviation status on the Status Bar of the Management
application window.
Viewing configuration deviation status
The Management application enables you to view the configuration deviation status at a glance by
providing a configuration deviation status icon on the Status Bar.
Point to the configuration deviation status icon on the Status Bar. Depending on the status, one of
the following status icons displays.
To view the configuration changed details, click the configuration deviation status icon on the
Status Bar. The Change Tracking tab of the Configuration Repository dialog box displays with the
list of product configurations that have deviated from the baseline configuration. For more
information, refer to “Change tracking” on page 753.
