Resynchronization between a configuration file and an IODF is a time consuming process - the definitions of both files are compared and then the configuration file is updated. HCM can resynchronize both work configuration files and production configuration files.
- Resynchronize the content of the configuration file with the IODF on the host
- Access the content of the configuration file as read-only.
When you select to synchronize the content, the local copy of all logical configuration data in the configuration file is overwritten with the data of the IODF. Generally, the physical data is kept.
The resynchronization operation is indicated by the following dialog:
If you select the Continue button, HCM performs the resynchronization operation. Visual warnings may pop up to indicate inconsistencies between logical data and the physical infrastructure. Before you work with the configuration file or save it, resolve these conflicts. See Receiving visual warnings for information about how visual warnings work and on how you can enable them.
If you select the Open as Read-Only button, a resynchronization takes place but the configuration file is not saved and you are not allowed to edit the configuration file - regardless whether a work or production configuration file is open.
