Find configuration changes in delta checkpoints

If automatic repository checkpoints are enabled, the product creates a delta checkpoint whenever a change is made to the configuration repository. A delta checkpoint compressed zip file contains the before and after versions of configuration files that have changed. We can extract the contents of the compressed file and then examine the extracted files to determine what has changed in the configuration.

Enable the product to create delta checkpoints automatically:

  1. From the administrative console, click...

      System administration | Extended Repository Service | Enable automatic repository checkpoints

  2. For Automatic checkpoint depth, specify the number of delta checkpoints to keep.

  3. Save the changes.

Use a delta checkpoint to undo recent changes to the product configuration.

We can also use a delta checkpoint to determine what changes were made to the configuration. This topic discusses how to interpret the contents of an extracted delta repository to determine changes in the configuration.


Tasks

  1. Export a delta checkpoint.

      System administration | Extended repository service | Repository checkpoints | delta checkpoint | Export

    On the Export repository checkpoints page, select the compressed zip file name, and save the file to a specified location.

  2. Extract files from the exported compressed file.

  3. Examine the extracted files to determine changes in the configuration.
