Edit a Local Adapter Configuration

You can view or edit local adapter configurations. Local adapter configurations allow you to control settings that may not apply, or be required, for your entire environment. They override global settings only for specific adapter hosts. For example, you may want a specific SAPI adapter host to listen on a different port. You can set this behavior using a local configuration.

To edit a local adapter configuration

1. Click the Administration tab, and then click the Log Collection subtab.

   The Log Collection folder list appears.

2. Click the CA Adapters folder.

   The folder expands, displaying subfolders for each adapter.

3. Select the folder for the adapter whose configuration you want to edit.

   The service display expands, showing adapter hosts.

4. Click the adapter host you want.

   The host configuration you select opens in the details pane.

5. Make the configuration changes you want. Every value entry field, menu, or control in the local configuration displays a local/global configuration button which can be toggled to one of two states.

   Global configuration:

   Local configuration:

   Clicking the button changes it from the global to the local setting, and makes its associated entry field available for use. The entry field must remain set for local configuration for the setting to take effect: If it is set for global configuration, the global setting for that adapter is in effect.

   Note: Clicking Reset shows the most-recently saved configuration values for all the available configurations. You can reset a single change or multiple changes up to the point you click Save. Once you have saved changes you must reset your changes individually.

6. Click Save when you are finished making changes.

   Any changes you make are applied to the selected adapter host only.
