  Part 1: Configure Subscription Settings Service Application

  The first part of this guide will help you configure the Subscription Settings Service Application. Follow the steps below to get started.

  Step 1: Go to Central Administration

  From your SharePoint Server 2019 farm, open SharePoint 2019 Central Administration:

  

  Step 2: Go to Manage Services in Farm

  Select System Settings from the side panel.

  

  Under Servers, click Manage services in this farm.

  

  Step 3: Enable Auto Provision for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service

  Click Enable Auto Provision for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service.

  

  Step 4: Open SharePoint Management Shell

  Next, use the Windows search bar to look for SharePoint 2019 Management Shell. Right-click on the app and select Run as administrator.

  

  You will be redirected to Administrator: SharePoint 2019 Management Shell.

  

  Step 5: Create Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service using PowerShell

  Run the command below and hit Enter using your keyboard:

  $sa = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication -ApplicationPool 'SharePoint Web Services Default' -Name 'Subscriptions Settings Service Application' -DatabaseName 'Subscription'

  

  Run the command below and hit Enter again:

  New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $sa

  

  After running these commands, you should see the server DisplayName, TypeName, and ID in a table format.

  

  Step 6: Verification

  Once done, you must verify if the subscription settings have been configured successfully. To do that, select Application Management from SharePoint 2019 Central Administration.

  

  Under Service Applications, click Manage Service Applications.
