You can update the latest Ivanti Endpoint Security system components and content by completing a process called Replication. Replication downloads any system components, content definitions, or licensing information posted to the Global Subscription Service since the previous replication. Although the system automatically replicates once daily, you may occasionally need to replicate manually from time to time.

Initiate replications from the Subscriptions Updates page.

1. From the Navigation Menu, select Tools > Subscription Updates.
2. Click Update Now.
   A notification dialog opens.

   In network environments with the Ivanti AntiVirus module installed, the notification dialog contains selectable options (System and License Replication and Virus Engine and Definition Update). In this scenario, select the desired options before proceeding to the next step.

3. Acknowledge the replication by clicking OK.
   Replication begins immediately. All license changes since the last replication are downloaded. This process may take several minutes, and no Discover Applicable Update tasks run during completion.

Edit the communication interval to control the daily time when you server downloads license data from the Global Subscription Service.

Edit the communication interval from the Subscription Updates page.

1. From the Navigation Menu, select Tools > Subscription Updates.
2. Select a time from the Communication Interval list.
   This list includes a value for every half-hour.
3. Click Save.
   A dialog opens, notifying that the new setting was saved.
4. Click OK.
   The selected communication interval is saved. Your server will replicate daily at the selected time.

Configuring the Service tab defines communication, proxy, and log settings for replication.

Configure the Service tab from the Subscription Service Configuration dialog.

1. From the Navigation Menu, select Tools > Subscription Updates.
2. Click Configure.
   The Subscription Service Configuration dialog opens.
3. Ensure the Service tab is selected.
4. Define Proxy options.
   These options define the proxy information used for communication between the server and the Global Subscription Service (GSS).
   1. Complete the Address and Port fields.
   2. If your proxy server requires authentication, select the Authenticated check box and complete the User Name, Password, and Confirm Password fields.
5. Define Communication options.
   These options define actions related to your server communication with the GSS.
   1. Select a Logging Level from the list.
   2. To limit communication speeds during replication, select the Enable Bandwidth Throttling check box and type a number in the X Kbytes per second field.
   3. Type a number in the Retry Limit field.
   4. Type a number in the Retry Wait field.
   5. Type a number in the Connect Timeout field.
   6. Type a number in the Command Timeout field.
   • For additional information about each option, refer to Communication.
   • Under most conditions, the Retry Limit, Retry Wait, Connect Timeout, and Command Timeout options require no editing.
6. Click Save to apply your changes.

   Tip: If you want to continue using the Configuration Settings dialog, click Apply instead of Save.

Your edits are saved. These edits will take effect the next time Ivanti Endpoint Security communicates with the GSS.

After Completing This Task:

If you edited the Logging Level, you must restart the replication service before the changes take place as described in the next section.

You can restart the replication service on your server using the Web console.

You can restart the subscription service from the Service tab on the Subscription Service Configuration dialog.

1. From the Navigation Menu, select Tools > Subscription Updates.
2. Click Configure.
   The Subscription Service Configuration dialog opens.
3. Ensure the Service tab is selected.
4. Click Restart.
5. Acknowledge the notification by clicking OK.
   The replication service is restarted on your server.
