Install preview support for partial install

This information is also available in the FortiManager7.4 Administration Guide: Installing objects

When the partial install feature is enabled, Install Preview can be used to view the configuration changes that will be made before a partial install.

To preview a partial install:

1. In the FortiManager CLI, enable partial install:

   config system global

   set partial-install enable

   end

2. Create an address a1.

   

3. Use this address in a policy.

   

4. Install the policy to a FortiGate.

5. Modify the a1 address.

   

6. Right click a1 and select Install Object(s).

   

7. Select the installation target and click Install Preview.

8. The install preview displays the pending configuration changes.

If you attempt to install an object that is not used in a policy, the device list displays No record found.

If you attempt to install an object with invalid configuration, Install Preview displays the configuration errors.

In Install Preview, metadata variables used in objects display the real value.

Administrators with a restricted profile can use Install Preview for partial installs.
