Viewing Deployment Transcripts
Use the Transcript Viewer window to view the record of messages exchanged between Security Manager
and a device. A transcript is the log file of transactions between Security Manager and a device captured
during a deployment or rollback operation. It includes commands sent and received between server and
device from the time of the deployment or rollback request, but it does not include communication that
occurs during the initial discovery phase of deployment, when Security Manager obtains the current
configuration from the device. For more information, see Viewing and Comparing Archived
Configuration Versions, page8-56.
