Entering Common Deployment Technology Settings
On the Settings > Deployment > Common tab, you need to select the deployment technology that App Portal should use to perform user syncing, computer syncing, evaluating collection membership, and other tasks.
You can connect App Portal to multiple deployment technologies: Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, Intune, Altiris, Jamf Cloud, and/or Jamf Pro (in addition to Workspace ONE UEM for mobile apps). You can also specify custom a custom connection string to another third-party deployment technology. You are permitted to set up App Portal to perform some tasks with one deployment technology and other tasks with a different deployment technology.
To enter common deployment technology settings:
| 1. | On the Admin tab, open the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view. |
| 2. | Open the Common subtab. |
| 3. | If you are using more than one deployment technology, in the Define order for detecting client deployment technology list, specify the order in which App Portal will check them to determine which deployment technology the end user’s computer is a client of. |
| 4. | From the Syncing Users list, select the deployment technology you want App Portal to use to sync users using built-in sync queries. |
| 5. | From the Syncing Computers list, select the deployment technology you want App Portal to use to sync computers using built-in queries. |
| 6. | From the Evaluating collection membership list, select the deployment technology that you want App Portal to use to evaluate collection membership for standard conditions. |
| 7. | From the Inventory / OS Deployment list, select the deployment technology that you want App Portal to use to read inventory data and perform OS deployments. |
Note:Not supported for Altiris unless also using FlexNet Manager Suite.
| 8. | In the Sync Page Size field, enter the batch size to process users and computers. The default value is 50. |
| 9. | Click Save, and then click the Sync Data Now button to sync App Portal using the current selections. |
Note:By default, the sync also happens at 2:00 a.m. each morning. To configure the time, open the Settings > Timers tab and edit the Time of day to sync users and computers field.
Note:You also have the option of specifying custom sync connection strings in the Custom Computer Sync Settings and Custom User Computer Map Sync Settings areas.
