Maximum versions stored
Maximum number of domain and settings versions that can be stored in the DataPower appliance manager. For example, if you specify a value of 3, for each managed set, you can have 3 sharable settings versions, and 3 versions of each managed domain.
We can view the shareable appliance settings version history, or the domain versions history to determine which versions are available for specific managed sets.
To view the sharable settings version history for a managed set, click...
Servers > DataPower > Managed sets > managed_ set_name > Settings vhistory
To view the version history for a managed domain for a managed set, click...
Servers > DataPower > Managed sets > managed_ set_name > Managed Domains > .managed_domain_name > Version history
Versions directory
Directory into which you want the versions stored. Whenever the DataPower appliance manager detects a change in the sharable appliance settings, or a managed domain on the master appliance for a managed set, a new sharable appliance settings, or managed domain version is automatically created.
