• Initialization parms
• Functional authorities and User proxies
• Secure+ (cipher suites, trusted certs, key certs, nodes) (configure Secure+ node and push but not create/modify)
Common Interface
• Wizard interface with basic and advanced editing capabilities, including syntax validation and popup help
• Update and copy config objects across servers
• Full-text search across servers/platforms
Policy Management
• Protected templates for config objects
• Compare config objects and templates across servers/platforms
Change Control
• Versioning and aging of config objects
• Audit log of server config changes including server id, last modified date/time, user id, object type, and value
• Conflict management between local config and central config

Local Config
Management
Business as usual
management of
configuration files on
the local servers. Local
IBM® Sterling
Connect:Direct® server
continues to use
configuration files as it
does today—including
create, maintain, delete.
Central Config Management
Pull config objects from the local
server, maintaining a central copy
of the exact object.
Ad-hoc or scheduled sync process to
ensure SCC and the local server are
in sync
Push config objects to the local
server, updating the config object
on the server.
Create new config objects in SCC
and push them to the server. Or
select a version of a config object,
modify it, and push it to the server.

Helps ensure compliance and respond to auditsSimplified configuration management
Single interface to access config objects
across servers and take action on them—
netmap nodes, functional authorities, user
proxies, and initialization parameters
Sync local and central
version of configs, and
also view config versions
• Create and delete versions
• Copy objects from one server to
another.
• View, compare, and delete
versions of config objects
