Create a Read-Only Snapshot of a Configuration

A read-only snapshot version of a configuration contains:

  • A self-contained configuration version that is read-only
  • Contains
    • The currently (at the time of the snapshot) included versions of any imported models
    • Read-only snapshot version (created as a part of the snapshot process) of any:
      • Custom models
      • Physical data models
      • Mappings.

Steps

  1. Sign in as a user with at least the Metadata Managementcapability object role assignment on the configuration and all the models.
  2. Go to MANAGE > Repository.
  3. Right-click the configuration version you wish to snapshot and select Create a Snapshot.

Example

Sign in Administrator and go to MANAGE > Repository. Right-click the Published version of the Demo Enterprise Architecture configuration and select Create a Snapshot.

And you have a new version (snapshot) of the configuration:

Information note

The pad-lock symbol on the new configuration version indicates that it is read-only.

Information note

This new configuration version also includes a newly created glossary version for the Enterprise Glossary, so that future edits will not be reflected in the snapshot..
