hi guys,

i just have a small query.

When you use "commit at" command and exit out and then when someone else does a "configure private" it shows below output

root@junos1# quit 

Exiting configuration mode

root@junos1> configure private 

warning: changes cannot be committed while 'configure exclusive' is active

warning: uncommitted changes will be discarded on exit

Entering configuration mode

Users currently editing the configuration:

root terminal d0 (pid 1492) on since 2012-12-29 04:35:50 UTC, idle 00:02:28

    commit-at

[edit]

root@junos1# 

now how do i know what configuration was scheduled to be commited. I tried " sh | compare", " sh configuration | compare rollback 1" ,"sh system compare rollback 0 1 "etc but it doesn't show me the right info.  I can't make any changes now as if I want to commit them it  says as below.

root@junos1# commit 

error: Another commit is pending

so how do i find out what configuration was scheduled to be commited by the other engineer. This is a lab environment but i would like to know .I know that i can clear his pending commit (if I am super user) and then do my changes and commit. But , I want to know the command to see what config changes were scheduled by the other user

Please advise at your convienence

Regards,

You can view the configuration changes made if you login to "configure shared" mode

Please mark as correct answer if that answers your question 🙂

hi sachin, thanks for your reply. you have definelty given me one way to checking it. I was trying to check this in my lab on Olive image running below version and couldnt find that option. perhaps i will find that on a real box 😉

Model: olive
JUNOS Base OS boot [12.1R1.9]

root@junos1> configure ?
Possible completions:
<[Enter]> Execute this command
batch Work in batch mode (commit happens in batch)
dynamic Work in dynamic database
exclusive Obtain exclusive lock (other users cannot make changes)
private Work in private database (other's changes do not show)
| Pipe through a command
root@junos1> configure shared
^
syntax error, expecting <command>.

root@junos1> configure

However,looks like it works even if I use just "confiigure" instead of  "configure shared". I was more interested in an operational command .

Also , do you know how can I commit without clearing the other commit. As you can see from my first post , I cant commit unless the other commit is still pending. How do i get around this?

Perhaps "configure shared" works only on CLUSTER

on a standalone box youshould not have any problems in viewing the config changes

for your second question there is no way to commit without clearing the pending commit.
