Os Snapshot Panel; Source Patches Panel - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

OS Snapshot Panel

On the OS Snapshot Panel, you can optionally select an OS Snapshot to be used to identify specific file
information for any patch impacts that are discovered.
The OS Snapshot serves as a representation of the underlying baseline system in your enterprise. If you include an
OS Snapshot in your Patch Impact Analysis, then the file version information displayed in warning messages is
derived from that OS Snapshot. If an OS Snapshot is not included in the analysis, the file version information will be
displayed as "unknown". As such, it is recommended to include an OS Snapshot in your analysis because this
allows a finer-tuned evaluation of impacts based upon file and version information.
