Set a Server Snapshot as the Baseline

CA Configuration Automation enables you to designate one server snapshot as the Baseline—the snapshot that is used as the reference for server Change Detection Across Time operations.

Notes:

• A similar snapshot feature enables you to designate multiple server snapshots as the Gold, Silver, or Bronze Standard. These snapshots are used as the reference for server comparison operations.
• The same server snapshot can be designated as the Baseline and as the Gold, Silver, or Bronze Standard.
• Baseline designations can also be made for service snapshots.

To designate a server snapshot as the Baseline

1. Click the Management link.

   The Management panel appears.

2. Click the Servers tab.

   The Servers tab page appears.

3. Click the name of the server from which you want delete a snapshot in the Server table.

   The selected server's Server Details page appears and displays the Server tab.

4. Click the Snapshots tab.

   The Snapshots table appears.

5. Click the check box next to the server snapshot you want to designate as the Baseline, then select Set as Baseline from the Select Actions drop-down list.

   The Designation column displays Baseline for the corresponding snapshot. This snapshot is used when the Baseline snapshot option is selected as the source or target snapshot as described in Run Server Change Detection.
