Committing Profile Configurations

You must commit a profile in order to have UEC sends its modified configuration option values to all Agents with that profile. However, before you can commit a profile, you must save - and automatically validate - the profile (see Saving Profile Configurations).

Polling

Committed profiles are placed in a Commit queue. Whenever UEC polls an Agent, the Commit queue is scanned for a pending commit to Agents with that profile. If a pending commit is found, it is sent to the Agent, where the Universal Broker automatically is refreshed.

The frequency with which UEC polls an Agent is defined in the UEC POLLING_INTERVAL configuration option. This polling interval also can be defined for individual Agents through the I-Administrator client application (see I-Administrator).

Only one pending commit is sent to an Agent per poll. For example, if a user commits five times to an Agent, five Agent polls are required to process the pending commits.

To track the status of commits, access the Commit Queue application (see Commit Queue).

Committing a Profile

To commit a profile, perform the following steps.

Step 1	In the Profile tree, click the configuration to be committed.
Step 2	Commit the selected profile either by: Clicking Commit in the Actions menu on the I-Management Console menu bar. Clicking the Commit Configuration icon on the I-Management Console tool bar. Note Only values for options with the Commit check box checked in the Profile Configurations Options table can be committed. (If you modify an option value, but remove the check mark before submitting that value for validation, the modification is removed from the value field and will not be made.)
Step 3	The Commit dialog displays. Enter a description for the commit. (The following default description is provided: Commit profile: <profiles name>.)
Step 4	Click the Commit button to commit the changes to the agent. The commit is placed on the I-Management Console Commit queue and the following dialog displays.
Step 5	Click OK.

Profile not Saved

If you try to commit a profile before it has been saved, the following dialog displays:

Click OK, and then save the profile (see Saving Profile Configurations).
