Resetting and Activating Pico Configurations

When there are staged changes the STR, you can attempt to move these changes to the active registry or reset the master registry.

Resetting Configurations

Run the following command to rollback changes that cannot be validated.

 $ mzsh topo reset

Note!

When you run this command, the directory structure of the STR will be recreated and any existing directory- or file handles will be stale. For instance, if you run the command from a shell and the current directory is in the STR, i e under $MZ_HOME/common/config/cell/default, it will appear empty.

Activating Configurations

Run the following command to validate configurations in the master registry and propagate changes to the active registry. 

$ mzsh topo activate

Note!

This command is only required when you use the mzsh topo command with the flag --no-activation, or after manual edits in the STR.

When you run this command, the directory structure of the STR will be recreated and any existing directory- or file handles will be stale. For instance, if you run the command from a shell and the current directory is in the STR, i e under $MZ_HOME/common/config/cell/default, it will appear empty.

Hint!

When you run mzsh topo activate with the -v flag after manual edits, the printout on stdout contains mzsh topo set commands that correspond to the staged changes in the file pico.conf. You can use this printout for scripting.
