3.6 Zone Sharing and Subscription

The Subscribe and Share feature in ZENworks allows you to share assignable content objects like bundles and policies across multiple ZENworks zones. The zone that shares content is known as a Sharing zone, and the zone that subscribes to the sharing zone and replicates the shared content in its own zone is known as a Subscriber zone.

In the ZENworks Control Center, you can use the Zone Sharing settings link in the Infrastructure Management panel to manage the sharing activities of the zone.

A Primary Server is identified in the Sharing zone as a Sharing server. All content sharing activities are done through this server. The Subscriber zone registration is done by providing a subscriber key from the sharing zone. Subscriber key does not entitle a subscriber for any content. It is meant for Subscriber registration.

The required content is then shared from the Sharing zone and is replicated in the Subscriber zone. You will be notified of replication issues, if any, and be able to take corrective actions for the same.
