WAS v8.5 > Reference > SetsExtended repository service settings page
Use this page to configure the repository checkpoint location and to enable automatic checkpoints. The extended repository service enables you to back up and restore the configuration repository. The configuration repository contains documents that manage the product configuration.
To view this dmgr console page, click System administration > Extended repository service.
We can create repository checkpoints to save snapshots of the configuration as you make changes, so that we can undo those changes if necessary. We can configure your repository to create automatic delta checkpoints each time you make a configuration change. A delta checkpoint saves a copy of the configuration documents prior to saving your changes. We can specify the number of automatic checkpoints to save. After this limit is reached, the next checkpoint replaces the oldest.
If you are a user with a monitor or an operator role, we can only view the repository checkpoint information. If you are a user with a configurator or an administrator role, we have all configuration privileges for repository checkpoints.

Enable automatic repository checkpoints
Whether to make automatic delta checkpoints of configuration documents that are about to change before each configuration change.
Automatic checkpoint depth
