User Interface Model

Some NNMi console forms use a transactional approach to updating the database. The changes that you make in the NNMi console forms do not take effect until you save and close the forms all of the way back to the NNMi console. If you close a form that contains unsaved changes (on that form or on a contained form), NNMi warns you about the unsaved changes and gives you a chance to cancel the close.

Note The Discovery Seed form is one exception to the transactional approach. This form is provided on the Discovery Configuration form as a convenience, but it is disconnected from the rest of discovery configuration. For this reason, you must save and close the Discovery Configuration form to implement your auto-discovery rules before you configure any discovery seeds for those rules.
