Modifying configurations

Use this procedure to edit a configuration that already exists within the Netcool Configuration Manager database.

About this task

When modifying an existing configuration, the system first verifies that the running and stored (candidate) configurations on the resource are the same. If not the same, you will see a mismatch error. You must resolve this mismatch before submitting any changes to the resource. After a successful configuration change, the system also writes the running configuration to the stored/candidate configuration on the resource, ensuring that all three configurations (current, running, and stored) are in sync.
