Setting global-level and local-level configurations using the Remedy Management Console

Use the Server Group Configuration screen of the Remedy Management Console if you want to set the global-level and local-level configurations for the server group. This screen provides a single location to manage configuration settings across the server group, without accessing each server.

Required permissions

You must have either of the following permissions to access the Server Group Configuration screen:

• AR System Administrator
• AR System Configuration Administrator
• Integration Administrator

To set the global-level and local-level configurations by using the server group configuration screen

1. In the Work On Component Type field, select a component.
2. In the For These Components field, select an option to display component on the screen.
3. In the Showing These Settings field, select an option to display settings on the screen.
4. Click Load Settings.
   The Global Settings and Local Settings tables are populated with settings and values.

To set the global-level and local-level configurations 

Use the Global Settings and Local Settings table to set the global-level and local-level configurations.

1. In the Find Setting Matching field, enter a search string such as filter and click Find.
   The search is performed on Setting Label, Setting Name and Description columns.

   The Default Configuration Setting dialog opens.
   
   1. In the Description field, enter a short description for the component type.
   2. In the Setting Reference Key field:
      • If the setting is managed by the AR System server, leave the field blank. 
      • If you have a custom setting, enter a value.
   3. Click Save.

3. Click Add to Update Settings and select a row from Global Settings or Local Settings table.
   The selected setting is added to the Setting Pending Update table.

You can perform the following actions after selecting any row in the table:

A warning message is displayed if you add a setting row that requires the server restart. This warning is displayed only for the com.bmc.arsys.server component.
