We are looking into changing from using the 4.0.8's XML API to 4.1.3's XML API and I was wondering what the new Force and Partial commits do? I don't see much in the documentation that explains the reasons and usages for these new features.
Also, I was wondering if there is any documentation that talks about how to do a specific vsys only commit and what the limitations are on it.

The force and partial commit options are explained in the CLI guide. See snippet below:
Syntax
commit {force}
{
partial device-and-network excluded |
partial shared-object excluded |
partial vsys <value> |
partial no-vsys
}
Options
> force — Forces the commit command in the event of a conflict
> partial — Commits the specified part of the configuration
+ device-and-network — Excludes device and network configurations from the commit (configurations under
config/mgt-config, config/devices/platform, config/devices/deviceconfig, and config/devices/network)
+ shared-object — Excludes shared object configurations from the commit (configurations under (config/
shared; also excludes config/devices/vsys if in single vsys mode)
+ vsys — Commits only the specified virtual system configurations
> no-vsys — Excludes all virtual systems from the commit (configurations under config/devices/vsys)
