Set the Project as Data Master
The Data master is a dedicated project/system which synchronizes global data (for example, global users and global groups) to all connected systems. In a distributed system, there must be exactly one Data master and the Data master must have access to all connected systems in the distribution (this is important for distributions which use one-way connectivity).
You can set the project as Data master when the project is stopped as well as when it is running. When set at runtime it takes a while till the running system detects the configuration change. Therefore, it is recommended to set the Data master when the project is stopped.
- At least one started or stopped project is available under the Projects folder for which the distribution is enabled.
- In the SMC tree, select Projects > [project].
- In the Server Project Information expander, select the Data master check box.
- Click Save Project .
- The selected project is set as Data Master.
