Extended repository service

The extended repository service enables advanced management of the configuration repository. The configuration repository contains the configuration for the cell. This information is essential to the operation of your applications.

To view this administrative console page, click System Administration > Extended Repository Service.

If you are a user with either a monitor or an operator role, you can only view the repository checkpoint information. If you are a user with either a configurator or an administrator role, you have all configuration privileges for repository checkpoints.

You can create repository checkpoints to help you save snapshots of your configuration as you make changes, so that you can easily undo those changes if necessary. This page supports configuration of the repository checkpoint and restore function.

Repository location

A read-only field that contains the file system location of the master repository.

Repository checkpoint location

An updatable field that contains the file system location where checkpoints are stored. This value must conform to the platform-file system-path syntax.

Enable automatic repository checkpoints

When selected, automatic checkpoints of only the configuration documents about to change are made before each configuration change.

Automatic checkpoint depth

An updatable field that specifies the number of automatic checkpoints that are saved in the repository. The value must be an integer. When this limit is reached, the next automatic checkpoint causes deletion of the oldest automatic checkpoint.
