Configuring Config Sync Services

Only users with a security privilege can configure Config Sync Services. For more information, see NMC-RX User Guide, Vol. 1, Chapter 8, Configuring Security Settings.

To configure Config Sync Services:

1. In the Configuration menu, choose NMC-RX Application Settings.

The Config Sync Services tab appears.

When you select a service in the Config Sync Services table, the values for the Config Sync Service parameters are automatically populated. The parameters are disabled for a Config Sync Service whose status is Not Installed.

The RMI Registry Port, Scheduler MAX Operations, and FTP Destinations values are applied to all Config Sync Services on the location of the currently selected service. If you modify any of these values, a warning dialog box appears asking if you want to continue. The SNMP Settings User Profile is applied to all Config Sync Services, regardless of their location. If you set SNMP settings as a Config Sync Services user, the settings are used by all Config Sync Services when communicating by means of SNMP.

2. Set the Config Sync Services parameters (Table 42).
   

   NOTE: You can edit the RMI Registry Port value of the selected Config Sync Service when the status is Not Run Yet or Not Responding for all Config Sync Services on the location of the selected service. The new setting takes effect when the Config Sync Services on that location are started. When you set the FTP Destinations parameter to Same for Discovery & Staging, only one set of FTP Destination parameters appears for both discovery and staging. When you set the parameter to Separate Destinations, two different sets of FTP Destinations parameters appear. When you change the FTP Destinations parameter from Separate Destinations to Same for Discovery & Staging, a dialog box appears prompting you for the settings to use. Click either Discovery or Staging.
