Why each option

Install Policy is the mechanism that pushes policy and configuration changes from the Security Management Server to enforcement points, including the trusted log server.

ASave Policy

Save Policy writes the policy to the management database locally but does not push or publish any changes to gateways or log servers.

BInstall Database

Install Database pushes object and user database updates to gateways but does not install the full security policy or notify the log server of policy-level changes.

CSave session

Save Session commits the current editing session to the database in multi-admin environments but does not trigger any distribution of policy to external components.

DInstall PolicyCorrect

Install Policy compiles and pushes the full security policy from the Security Management Server to all targeted gateways and associated log servers, ensuring all enforcement and logging components reflect the latest configuration. This is the only operation that actively synchronizes policy state to the log server. Without running Install Policy, changes remain unpublished and the log server operates on the previous configuration.
