Accessing and Editing Preferences

The following procedures explain how to access, edit, apply, and share changes among multiple hosts.

You can view and change the way the console behaves. You can view and change preferences for any agent application that is installed on a managed host, and then propagate the changes to other hosts.

If you have the admin user password, you can change the preferences for the dependency manager.

You can also set preferences for the Sun Update Connection – Enterprise server from the preferences of each of the applications. You can change the directories where downloads from the servers are kept and the protocol for the applications to communicate with each other.
