## Activating the Configuration

Changes made to the configuration of the ProSBC units are stored in the OAM\&P Configuration and Logging database. In order for changes to be used by the system, they must first be activated. This is done at the system level and accessed from the Navigation panel.

Check the following link for activating the configuration;

[Toolpack:Activating\_the\_Configuration\_D](/configuration-details/configuration-by-web-portal-category/system-settings/activating-the-configuration.md)
