Setting preferences for configuration updates

Use the Configuration Files preference page to set options for automatically updating your workspace when you connect to a remote system.

About this task

Restriction: The system administrator has the ability to prevent users from rejecting configuration updates. If the remote system has been configured to prevent you from rejecting updates, the options on this page are not available and all configurations and preferences must be updated when you connect to the remote system.

Procedure

  1. In the Preferences window, navigate to Remote Systems > Configuration Files.
  2. Select one of the following options:
    • Notify me of all updates Each time you connect to the remote system you are notified of all available updates. Notifications continue until you install the updates.
    • Notify me of updates that I have not rejected Each time you connect to the remote system, you are notified of available updates for the configurations and preferences you have updated previously. If, on previous connections, you have rejected any updates, you are no longer notified of them.
    • Do not notify me of updates The product never notifies you that configuration and preference updates are available.
    • Clear Cached Files: Click this button to reset the configuration settings for the current workspace. This action is helpful if the configuration files become corrupted or out-of-sync with the remote system. Clearing the cache allows new settings to be imported from the remote system to the current workspace.

      Clear Cached Files is intended primarily for push-to-client administrators to use when they are preparing a push-to-client environment. It can also be used by non-administrators to resynchronize downloaded configurations with the remote system or group from which you downloaded them. For more information about resetting workspace configuration files, see the related links.

  3. Click OK to save the settings.
