Fabric Manager saves the change management profile information to the database. The first
snapshot report created is saved as the baseline snapshot report. All subsequent snapshots are
compared against the baseline snapshot, and the comparison report (change report) is displayed
in the subsequent snapshots.
Each snapshot is also saved in the database. You can purge them at a specified time or delete
them manually. If a fabric is removed from Fabric Manager, all associated snapshots and reports
are deleted. The profile is not deleted.
Cloning a change management profile

The Change Management dialog box displays with the Manage Profile tab selected (see Figure
87 on page 133). Any existing profiles are displayed in the dialog box.
