Managing Changes › Create a Baseline Snapshot

Create a Baseline Snapshot

You can create a baseline snapshot and use CA Configuration Automation to detect changes of configuration and resources over time, or to make system or service comparisons. Both change detection and compare processes can use a baseline snapshot.

Note: A server or service can only have one baseline snapshot.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Explore pane, select the server or service for which you want to create a snapshot.

   Note: The system that you select (or is part of the selected service) must have the CCA Agent and components installed.

2. In the right-click menu click Verification, Snapshot.

   The Snapshot dialog, which displays snapshots for the selected system opens.

3. Click the Actions button and select the Create Snapshot option.

   The Take Snapshot dialog opens.

4. Type a snapshot name and select Baseline Snapshot as the snapshot type.

   A confirmation of the new baseline snapshot appears.
