Commit Selective Configuration Changes
Selectively commit configuration objects made by one
or more firewall administrators.
Configuration changes occur often and are typically made by multiple administrators who are not
aware of what other configuration changes were made. It is vital to be able to
control which configuration objects are committed and prevent incomplete
configurations from being committed to your firewall. Rather than committing all
pending configuration changes, you can instead select configuration objects to
commit. A system log is generated after a successful selective commit.
The ability to select specific objects commit allows
multiple administrators to effectively make configuration changes
without disrupting other administrators who make configuration changes
that are not ready to be committed. Leveraging the ability to selectively
commit configuration changes allows you to maintain your defined
operational procedure while still being able to successfully make
independent configuration changes that are not defined within your
operational scope.
