Working with configurations of objects
Reverting changes
The actions of saving and activating changes are not irrevocable.
Prerequisites
Complete the following task before beginning this procedure:
■
“Saving and activating configuration changes” on page 59
Revert changes
When you want to undo changes, you can do either of the following:
■
If you have unsaved changes, you can revert to the last changes that you saved.
■
If you have changes that have been saved but not activated, you can revert to the state at the last
time you activated changes.
■
If you want to undo changes to a single object, you can revert just those changes.
To revert unsaved changes
1
On the File menu, click Revert to Last Saved .
2 When prompted to confirm that you want to revert, click Yes .
The changes and change indicators are removed from the objects.
To revert changes that have not been activated
1 On the File menu, click Revert to Last Active .
2 In the Confirm Discard of Pending Changes message, click Yes .
The changes and change indicators are removed from the objects.
To revert changes to a single object
1
In the right pane, select the object for which you want to revert changes.
2 Right-click and click Revert .
Only the changes you made to the selected object are reverted. Changes are retained for all other
objects, and can be saved and activated.
Deleting configuration objects
When changes take place in your network infrastructure or corporate security policy, you can delete
objects that are no longer used. For example, if a mail server is no longer in use, you can delete the
network entity that represents it.
To delete a configuration object
1 In the SGMI, in the left pane, click the section and folder that contain the object.
For example, to delete a network entity, under Assets, click
Network .
2 In the right pane, click the appropriate tab.
For example, in the right pane, click
Network Entities .
3 Do one of the following:
■
Select the object to be deleted, and then, on the Edit menu, click Delete .
■
Right-click the object, and then click Delete .
■
Select the object, and then, at the top of the pane, click Delete .
If no other objects reference this object, a red X to the left of the object in the table marks it for
deletion.
