Configuration Snapshot
A configuration snapshot file contains information on the installation’s parameters including:
Configuration parameters
Vnode definitions
System variables
User variables
The snapshot file can be used to compare configuration changes.
For example, if you encounter problems with the installation later, take another snapshot of the configuration and compare it to the earlier snapshot to determine if any configuration changes have contributed to the problem. Also, keep an on-going record of configuration changes by taking a snapshot of the installation each time you change its configuration.
Note:  Before configuring or editing the system parameters, you must use the VCDA tool to create a "snapshot" file of the current configuration.
