Load a Configuration for a Targeted Device
get
/{versionId}/configuration/devices/{deviceId}/loadConfig
Use this (GET) method to start a provisioning (configuration modification) session. This method ensures that the targeted device configuration in the SDM database is synchronized with the configuration on the device. A new targeted device must be provisioned before any work begins to prevent any configuration with a create, read, update, destroy (CRUD) operation from failing to load.
