When you create a snapshot, IXIA CCMS creates an
.xml file that contains the list of all the objects in
the map along with their version numbers.
Before you begin
Requirements
The map must not be locked, but the objects in the maps can be
locked. The map and its objects can have any status.
Attention: The system uses the latest released
version of the objects in the map when creating the snapshot. If you have
objects in your map locked, the snapshot will not include these locked
revisions. It will instead use the latest released revisions of these
objects.
About this task
In the default configuration, when you create a snapshot, the
snapshot object is in the Authoring:review status (or the equivalent in your
deployment).
You can create a snapshot from any view that lists the map (Search
Results, DITA Map, Dependencies, etc.).
To create a snapshot of a map:
Procedure
In a view that lists the map, right-click the map and select
Create snapshot.
The Create Snapshot window
appears:By default, the title of the map is used as the title of the
snapshot.
Optional: In the Title field, you
can modify the snapshot title.
You can use this to differentiate between snapshots taken of
the map if required.
In the Version field,
specify the version for this snapshot.
Note: Use the Version to
differentiate between different versions of a snapshot. It is not related to
the product version in IXIA Dynamic Release Management. Snapshots exist outside the product
version structure.
Click OK.
The snapshot is created. You can search for a snapshot like
any other object in CCMS Desktop.
