Authorize Internal Code Changes

Use this window to verify or change the setting that allows using this console to perform installation and activation of internal code changes and other subsequent operations.

When to change the setting

Normally, the operations are allowed.

  • Change the setting to not allow the operations when you do not want internal code to be changed. This can be for any reason.
  • Change the setting to not allow the operations when you perceive a problem after changes are activated.
  • Change the setting to allow the operations when you want to install and activate changes that correct a previously detected problem.
Notes:
  • The console automatically changes the setting to not allow the operations if it detects errors after activating new internal code changes.
  • The setting applies only to operations performed using this console.
