  4. The Push Complete dialog box appears as shown in Push complete for package dialog box. This dialog confirms that the *.ncf package file has been pushed to the remote server and prompts you to reload the VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF processor on that server so that the new configuration package takes effect on that server.

    Note:

    Reloading of the *.ncf file on a remote VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF server reloads all *.ncf files in the corresponding icoi/ics directories in that server. Care should be taken to ensure there are no conflicting configurations within multiple *.ncf files as the order in which these files are read is undetermined.
