You will need an active App Catalog to install ShortPoint on your SharePoint 2019 Farm Server. To set up an App Catalog, the first step you need to do is to configure the subscription settings service application and the app management service application. This article will walk you through the two parts you must accomplish to configure these subscription settings.

From your SharePoint Server 2019 farm, open SharePoint 2019 Central Administration:
Select System Settings from the side panel.
Under Servers, click Manage services in this farm.
Click Enable Auto Provision for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service.
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.
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.
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.
You should now see the Subscription Settings Service Application and the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service Application Proxy.
