Change Control
saved or committed as a unit to the ISM Provision server. Once a job is committed, any
changes to the configurations of managed devices are sent to the devices using the
device communicator assigned to that device.
Different from a committed job is a saved job. A saved job is also stored in the ISM
Provision server, but its collection of changes are not sent out to the network, unless the
saved job is later committed. A scheduled job is a saved job that will automatically be
committed at a scheduled time. One of the options of the commit process is to do the
actual commit at a later time. Any job scheduled to be committed at a later time is
saved until the commit time, and then committed to the network.
If an error occurs while a job is being committed, and any of the changes that make up
the job cannot be committed, the entire job is rejected, and any parts of the job already
added are backed out. A committed job that causes an error is still listed along with
other committed jobs, but its status is listed as rejected. To correct the errors, view the
committed yet rejected job, and review the job results. You will see the details of the
problem that caused the error.
Any job can be viewed, whether committed, rejected, scheduled or saved. You can
review the individual objects that were created, modified, and deleted. You can also
review the results of the job to help you correct any errors that might have occurred.
