System Labels
Labels appearing here are either System labels, which you cannot alter, or User labels that you can
create and edit.
System labels have a red icon, User labels a green icon. System labels can include
Current , and (if you have Change Manager installed) Compliant and Change Determination .
Change Determination and Compliant Labels
The Change Determination system label keeps a Label Item (pointer to a configuration file/version
for a single device) for each device that been through Change Determination. For example: Three
devices have been through Change Determination. The Change Determination Label then
contains three Label Items, each pointing to a single Config File/Version for those devices.
The application does the following for each device in the Change Determination Process:
1 Retrieve configuration file indicated by the Change Determination Label (if any).
2 Retrieve configuration file indicated by the Current Label (which should be the same as the
device in the network).
3 Compare these two files.
4 Write Old and New changes to History Records that will be used during Change Reporting.
5 Move Change Determination Label for this device to the configuration file pointed to by the
Current Label.
If the Change Determination Label points to no configuration file for this device, it must be the
very first time this device is processed by the Change Determination Process: It creates a Change
Determination Label Item for this Device.
The compliant label contains a pointer to the last configuration file that was compliant for each
device that has been through ProScan. If a device fails ProScan, you can automatically restore the
last compliant configuration file, indicated by the compliant label.
