When changes take effect

When a change to the Local or Central Settings takes effect on the client depends on what type of change you make.

There are two main types of changes that will occur. You will be changing either the access setting of a user or group (Local Settings) or the Central Settings of the administration system.

Local Settings

Depending on the application, you may not see the changes that you make until:

• The next time the client PC signs on to the system. This is the case for iSeries™ Navigator functions.

• The next time you restart the client PC, or 24 hours after you make the change, whichever comes first. This is the case for iSeries Access for Windows^® functions.

Central Settings

Changes to advanced settings on the administration system depend on the scan frequency that is set on the Administration System page of the system properties. The scan frequency ranges from every client session to once every 14 days. System administrators specify this value when they configure a system as an administration system.
