Get Pending Configuration Modifications
get
/rest/{versionId}/configuration/device-configs/{deviceId}/configuration-changes
Use this (GET) method to retrieve all configuration modifications in the OSDMC database that the user made on a targeted device. All users are assigned their own configuration modification staging area to allow concurrent users to make modifications to their respective staging area so that they do not interfere with each other. No configuration modification is pushed to a device until the appropriate push action method is invoked. If this action completes successfully, the staging area is cleared and is ready for the next provisioning session. If a call made using this method after a successful push action, an empty set is returned because all modifications were applied to the device.
