# Importing a Subscriber Configuration

A subscriber configuration created on a managed node may be imported into ArcMC, for editing and pushing to other nodes of the same type.

For example, you can define a configuration on a managed Connector Appliance, then import the configuration into ArcMC. The imported configuration may then be edited and pushed to other managed Connector Appliances, just the same as you would with a configuration you originally created in ArcMC.

Note: If configuration import to the localhost fails, restart the web service on the localhost.

To import a subscriber configuration from a managed node:

1. Click Configuration Management > Subscriber Configurations > All Configurations.

   Tip: To filter for a specific subscriber configuration type, select the desired configuration type from the Subscriber Configurations sub-menu.

2. Under Configurations, click Import.

3. On the Choose a Node dialog, select the node from which you wish to import the configuration.

4. Click Continue.

5. On the Import Configuration dialog:

1. Select a configuration type for the imported configuration from the Type drop-down list. (The entries in the list depend on the configuration types which apply to the node chosen in Step 3.)

2. In Name, specify a name for the imported configuration.

6. Click Import. The configuration is imported into ArcMC and is shown in the Configurations table.

   Note: In order to import a backup configuration from a Connector Appliance, Logger, or ArcMC node, the node must have a scheduled backup to begin with.
