Your Command Control database can be protected through the use of the Transactions feature, which automatically locks the database when you start making changes and prevents other Framework users from making any changes. You must then commit the transaction to save the changes and release the lock, and you are prompted by customized questions to provide information that can be viewed in the Compliance Auditor. You can cancel the transaction at any time.
To use this feature, you must first enable it and create a customized Commit Transactions page, then you can use the feature and commit the changes you have made.
You can configure the Command Control Manager to require the Transactions feature to be used when configuring Command Control rules.
You can also configure your own Commit Transaction page to be used for committing a transaction. The data entered on the Commit Transaction page can be viewed in the Compliance Auditor.
