Results from a change in module content level
Depending on how you change the module content filter level, operations on the platform vary:
- If you decrease the content level (say, go from "ui+runtime" to "runtime"), modules already installed are not automatically
re-installed (to reduce storage). You simply click the Finish button to close the dialog, and platform/station operation is otherwise unaffected. However, if you later re-install existing
modules, or install new modules, the new content filter level is applied--typically with resulting savings in storage space.
So, if "freeing" storage space is the goal when restricting module content, after changing the content level, you should re-install existing modules. Do this using the Software Manager.
- If you increase the content level (say, from "runtime" to "ui+runtime"), this typically requires modules to be re-installed
in that platform. In this case, the dialog provides a Next button and explains that this automatically occurs, with the station first stopped as a result, as shown. Note that if a
JACE platform, this also automatically results in a reboot of that host platform.
