Change Determination Process Workflow
Change Manager seeds Change Determination Process and compliance group operations. You can
configure this to run on groups of your choosing if you create a new Change Determination Process
group operation.
This process records what is removed, updated or added since it last ran on a scanned device’s
configuration. If you run the Change Determination Process, it first backs up the devices’
configuration(s), and stores those with the Change Determination label.
Change Determination Process then looks for Config Changed Flags, and if it finds such flags,
indicating a change occurred on the device and/or Change Determination has not run on it, the
process then compares the device’s changed configuration (in the Change Determination label) to
the one in the Current label, storing the difference for future reporting.
At its end, the Change Determination Process re-labels the configuration with the Change
Determination label to the Current label, and it un-sets the Config Changed Flag on scanned
resources so the flag will not signal change occurred when Change Determination runs again.
