About hierarchy and data replication direction
Patch Management Solution for Windows and Patch Management Solution for Linux support the hierarchy and the replication features of the Symantec Management Platform. These features let you create settings, schedules, and other data at the top-level Notification Server computer and replicate them to child-level Notification Server computers.
Patch Management Solution for Mac does not support replication.
