  1. Navigate to AR System Administration >  AR System Administration Console > System > General > Centralized Configuration
    The AR System Configuration Generic UI opens.
  2. Click the Component Name field and select the com.bmc.arysys.filedeployer option.
    The available components are displayed.
  3. Select a component instance.
    The AR System Configuration Generic UI fetches the available parameter information.
  4. Edit the listed parameters, as needed.
  5. Click Apply and then Close.
