Overview of the Editing Process

Note: The EMS server configuration stored in the working directory can be out-of-sync with the running configuration. This happens when the EMS server's configuration has changed as a result of direct edits to the JSON configuration file, programming API calls, or commands issued through the administration tool. The Refresh command directs the Central Administration server to update its snapshot of the EMS server. See Refreshing the Server Configuration for more information.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Server Overview Page for the EMS server you wish to edit.
  2. Obtain the lock for the server. See Locking the Server for more information.
  3. Make the desired edits to the configuration settings from the server properties pages. These pages are described in Properties Pages.
  4. Review the Validation Results to locate and correct any errors in the configuration. For details, see Validation.
  5. Deploy the new configuration. For details, see Configuration Deployment.
