3.3.2.1. Commit and Revert

The Commit changes and Revert changes buttons are always visible, at the minimum.

Commit is used when a (set of) configuration changes are finished and the changes are required to be saved to the XML database of ZMS.

Revert serves the opposite purpose: before committing changes to the ZMS database, it is possible to clear, to undo them in ZMC.

Note

It is very important to remember that Revert is limited to ZMC, it cannot clear configuration changes that are already committed to the ZMS database. Those changes can be undone by performing a new round of changes in ZMC and then committing these changes again.

Both Commit and Revert are component–focused controls. Consequently, before selecting another component from the Configuration tree, commit the changes in the current component, otherwise they are lost. In such cases, ZMC displays the following warning:

Warning: commit the changes before leaving the component
