Edit a Server's Local Subscription Configuration

During subscription implementation, you can configure global subscription settings, such as a subscription schedule and proxy list, for your environment. Individual CA User Activity Reporting Module servers inherit these global settings.

At any time, you can override global settings by configuring local settings for an individual server. Consider the subscription role of a server when planning to override global settings.

To edit a server's subscription configuration

1. Click the Administration tab and the Services subtab.
2. Expand Subscription Service and select the server to configure.

   The Subscription Service Configuration for the selected CA User Activity Reporting Module server appears.

3. Click the Administration tab.
4. If you want to change the subscription role of the server, do one of the following:
   • To designate it as a subscription client, clear the Subscription Proxy check box
   • To designate it as an online subscription proxy, select the Subscription Proxy check box, and select Online Subscription Proxy.
   • To designate it as an offline subscription proxy, select the Subscription Proxy check box, and select Offline Subscription Proxy.

   Note: Before changing a server's role from subscription proxy to subscription client, consider the configurations of the subscription clients that use this proxy. If you change a server from proxy to client, immediately remove the server from global and local Subscription Proxy(s) for Client Updates lists.

   Important! Before changing a server's role to offline subscription proxy, consider whether it is included in any proxy lists. In a mixed subscription environment, where you have configured both online and offline subscription proxies, do not include offline proxies in the proxy list for any online subscription client.

5. To override an inherited global setting, click the global/local button to switch to local service configuration for the selected field.

   Note: To restore the global setting, click the button again. The global setting is restored at the next update start time.

6. If the modules you want to download for this server are different from the settings inherited from the global settings, switch to local configuration, click Browse, and select the desired modules.

   Note: Be sure that the modules selected for a subscription proxy include at minimum all modules selected in the download lists of any clients that receive updates from this proxy.

7. If this server is to download subscription updates through an HTTP proxy server that is different from the inherited one, switch to local configuration and configure the desired HTTP proxy.
8. If this server is to download updates on a schedule different from the inherited one, switch to local configuration and edit the schedule.
9. If this server is to download updates from another CA User Activity Reporting Module subscription proxy switch to local configuration and add the desired CA User Activity Reporting Module proxy servers to the Subscription Proxy(s) for Client Updates list.

   This server contacts the specified proxy servers to download subscription updates, creating a tiered proxy structure.

10. Click Save.
