Configure Group Configuration Settings

Group Configuration lets you perform a central configuration of multiple SPS servers configured to a Policy Server at a time. If you group the SPS servers configured to a Policy Server, you can manage the configuration of the SPS servers using any SPS server in the group.

Important! The Group Configuration feature is supported only with the Policy Server 12.51 or later versions.

When you create a group, the group configuration is saved in the XPS store and an alert is sent to the SPS servers in the group. Then, the configuration of those SPS servers is updated. The group inherits the configuration from the SPS server that is used to configure the group.

The configuration changes made to a SPS server affect the other SPS servers in the group only if you alert the Policy Server using the Sync to Group option. If you do not send the Sync to Group alert, the configuration changes you perform are applicable only to the SPS server you have updated.

If a SPS server is not updated due to any local policies or restrictions, you can use the Restore from Group option to apply the latest configuration changes of a group on the SPS server.

If you create a group and include a SPS server that is already part of another group, the SPS server is moved from its current group to the new group.

When you click the Sync to Group option, the SPS performs the following tasks:

  1. Sends an update alert to the SPS servers in the group.
  2. Updates the SPS servers with the configuration changes.
