8 Managing Configuration History

This chapter describes how you can use Oracle Event Processing Visualizer to view, roll back, or delete configuration revision history, managing revisions by application or by resource.

This chapter includes the following sections:

For more information, see Section 3.4, "Configuration History Management".

8.1 Managing Resource Configuration History

You can manage configuration history by resource as Section 3.4.3, "Resource Configuration History Management" describes.

Alternatively, you can view configuration change history by application (see Section 8.2, "Managing Application Configuration History").

8.1.1 How to Manage Resource Configuration History

You can manage resource configuration history using the Oracle Event Processing Visualizer.

To manage resource configuration history:

  1. In the left pane, navigate to and expand the Applications node of the Oracle Event Processing instance to which the application is deployed.

  2. Select appname, where appname is the name of the application whose configuration history you want to manage.

  3. In the right pane, click the History tab.

    The History tab is displayed as Figure 8-1 shows.

  4. In the right pane, click the Revisions tab.

    The Revisions tab appears as Figure 8-2 shows.

  5. Filter the list of revisions by entering an appropriate Start Time and End Time and then click Refresh.

    The list refreshes to show only the revisions made in this time period.

  6. Manage the resource change records:

    • To delete a revision, click Delete.

      All the revisions pertaining to the selected Start Time and End Time are deleted from the resource change history but resource configuration is unchanged.

    • To undo (roll back) the changes that the revision specifies, click Undo.

      All the revisions pertaining to the selected Start Time and End Time are rolled back and the affected resources assume the configuration of the previous change record.

8.2 Managing Application Configuration History

You can manage configuration history by application as Section 3.4.4, "Application Configuration History Management" describes.

Alternatively, you can manage configuration change history by resource (see Section 8.1, "Managing Resource Configuration History").

8.2.1 How to Manage Application Configuration History

You can manage application configuration history using the Oracle Event Processing Visualizer.

To manage application configuration history:

  1. In the left pane, navigate to and expand the Applications node of the Oracle Event Processing instance to which the application is deployed.

  2. Select appname, where appname is the name of the application whose configuration history you want to manage.

  3. In the right pane, click the History tab.

    The History tab is displayed as Figure 8-3 shows.

  4. In the right pane, click the Changes tab.

    The Changes tab appears as Figure 8-4 shows.

  5. Filter the list of change records by entering an appropriate Start Time and End Time and then click Refresh.

    The list refreshes to show only the change records that were made in this time period.

  6. Manage the application change records:

    • To delete change records, click Delete.

      All the change records pertaining to the selected Start Time and End Time are deleted from the application change history but the application configuration is unchanged.

    • To undo (roll back) the changes that a change record specifies, click Undo.

      All the change records pertaining to the selected Start Time and End Time are rolled back and the affected application assumes the configuration of the previous change record.
