Synchronize Product Model

Behavior depends on system configuration.

  • Administrator has configured a PolicyCenter user name and password – Immediately deploys all committed product model changes
  • Administrator has not configured a PolicyCenter user name and password – Opens the Synchronize Product Model dialog box. Enter the user name and password of a PolicyCenter user who belongs to a role with soapadmin permissions, and then click OK. Product Designer then deploys all committed product model changes.

Product Designer deploys to the Test Server all committed product model changes from all users that correspond to the workspace associated with your active change list. The Test Server, configured by an administrator when the workspace is defined, can be different from the PolicyCenter instance to which you commit your change lists.

After deploying the new product, it is immediately available in the PolicyCenter Submission Manager.

Note: Synchronizing the product model when another submission is in progress causes errors and will not complete. See Synchronizing error if a submission is in progress.

Synchronize System Tables

  • Administrator has configured a PolicyCenter user name and password – Immediately deploys all committed system table changes
  • Administrator has not configured a PolicyCenter user name and password – Opens the Synchronize Product Model dialog box. Enter the user name and password of a PolicyCenter user who belongs to a role with soapadmin permissions, and then click OK. Product Designer then deploys all committed system table changes.
