Save the current editable configuration set. Enables you to create a draft of a new configuration set. A draft is a configuration set that has not yet been activated and can still be edited.

This button is enabled when you make a change to the currently activated configuration set. For details, see Save as Draft Dialog Box.

Import configuration set. Enables you to import a configuration set from your local directory to the same or another system. Opens the Import Configuration Set dialog box.

Important: Configuration Manager enables you to import a partially exported configuration set from the same version of Configuration Manager, to an existing configuration set.

• You can override an existing configuration set with all its properties.

• You cannot delete an existing configuration that is missing from the imported configuration set.

For example:

1. Select Administration > Settings > Application Management > Topology Presentation > Topology Layout.

2. In the Layers pane, remove the field Software and its associated color.

3. Export that configuration set.

4. Then import that configuration set into another draft where the field Software exists. The field Software is not deleted from the draft by the import operation. It only overrides other existing entries or adds new entries to that draft. To delete the entry, you must do it manually.

Limitations:

• A configuration set that has been exported through the Configuration Manager user interface, cannot be imported using the Export Configuration Set utility. For details, see Export Configuration Set.

• A configuration set that has been exported using the Export Configuration Set utility, can be imported through the Configuration Manager user interface. In this case, the current active configuration set is completely overridden, including deleting configuration items that are missing from the imported set.

The current active configuration set is also overridden when importing the configuration set from the vanilla.zip file located in the <Configuration_Manager_installation_directory>\conf\ folder.

Export configuration set to a zip file. Enables you to Export a whole configuration set or part of a configuration set to your local directory as a zip file. Opens the Export Configuration Set dialog box.

Select the configuration settings you want to export from the tree in the Export Configuration Set tree dialog box.

Activate current configuration set. Applies the configuration properties in the draft/configuration set to Configuration Manager and becomes the active configuration set.

Denotes a configuration category.

Enables you to determine whether impact analysis calculates the effects of the automation on CIs from the actual or authorized state of a view.

The options are:

• Actual (default)

• Authorized

For details, see Automation Analysis > Impact - <State> Pane.

Select the check box to:

• enable direct integration with the change management system to create an RFC.
• log authorization actions for the relevant RFC in the change management system.

These can either be rollback RFCs in the Review/Authorize module or policy remediation RFCs in the Explore Views module.

The full URL of the Configuration Manager server. This URL fulfills two purposes:

• Provides the ability to insert links to Configuration Manager into email notifications and scheduled reports (when this URL is specified and detailed information is requested.)

• Links to Configuration Manager from the launch page of UCMDB. (This URL can be configured in UCMDB as well.)

  Note If Configuration Manager is installed behind a reverse proxy, provide reverse proxy URL.

Defines the interval (measured in seconds) which determines how often the Operations Orchestration server is checked for automation flow results.

  • ${ucmdbId}—The ID of the composite CI (as it appears in UCMDB)

  • ${ucmdbName}—The name of the composite CI (as it appears in UCMDB)

  • ${ucmdbViewName}—The name of the view (as it appears in UCMDB)

  • ${ucmdbcmViewId}—The ID of the view (Configuration Manager view ID)

• Click to delete the selected URL.

A valid URL must begin with one of the following:

• http://
