Release Information
This is a Junos XML management protocol operation. It is a Juniper Networks proprietary extension to NETCONF and is identified in the capabilities exchange by the URI http://xml.juniper.net/netconf/junos/1.0 . This operation is only supported in NETCONF sessions on Juniper Networks devices running the Junos OS.
Description
Create a private copy of the candidate configuration.
The client application can perform the same operations on the private copy as on the regular candidate configuration, including the commit operation. There are, however, restrictions on the commit operation. For details, see <commit-configuration>.
To discard the private copy without committing it, emit the empty <close-configuration/> tag. Changes to the private copy are also lost if the NETCONF session ends for any reason before the changes are committed. It is not possible to save changes to a private copy other than by emitting the <commit-configuration/> tag.
