Synchronizing a Single Publishable Document Type
You can synchronize a single publishable document type with its corresponding provider definition. When you synchronize one publishable document type, keep the following points in mind:
*If you want to Pull from Provider, you need to have write access to the publishable document type and own the lock on it. For more information about locking elements and access permissions (ACLs), see About Locking Elements and Assigning ACLs.
*When you Pull from Provider, Designer gives you the option of overwriting elements with the same name that already exist on the Integration Server. The provider definition (Broker document type) might reference elements such as an IS schema or other IS document types. If the Integration Server you are importing to already contains any elements with the referenced names, you need to know if there is any difference between the existing elements and those being imported from the messaging provider (Broker). If there are differences, you need to understand what they are and how importing them will affect any integration solution that uses them. For more information about overwriting existing elements, see Importing and Overwriting References During Synchronization.
*For a publishable document type created for an adapter notification, you can select Push to Provider or Skip only.
*If the Linked to source property is set to true for the publishable document type, the action you can take depends on the source for the publishable document type. You can select:
*Pull from Provider only if the Source URI is a Broker document type.
*Push to Provider only if the Source URI is a URI other than a Broker document type.
When Linked to source is true, the content and structure of the document type cannot be modified. For information about allowing editing of an element created from a source file, see Allowing Editing of Derived Elements.
*To generate additional logging information in the server log when Integration Server synchronizes document types that use protocol buffer encoding with Universal Messaging, set the logging level for the server log facility 0154 Protocol Buffer Encoding (Universal Messaging) to Debug or Trace. Increased logging can help you to locate problems that occur during protocol buffer encoding.
*To generate additional logging in the server log when Integration Server synchronizes document types with the Broker, increase the logging level for the server log facility 0097 Broker Document Type Synchronizer.
*To synchronize a single publishable document type
1. In Package Navigator view, select the publishable document type that you want to synchronize.
2. Select File > Sync Document Types > Selected. Designer displays the Synchronize dialog box. The Synchronize dialog box displays the synchronization status of the document type, as described in Synchronization Status.
3. Under Action, do one of the following:
Select...
To...
Push to Provider
Update the provider definition with the publishable document type.
Pull from Provider
Update the publishable document type with the provider definition. This option is available when the provider definition is a Broker document type only.
Note:
The result of a synchronization action depends on the document status. For more information about how the result of a synchronization status depends on the synchronization status, see Combining Synchronization Action with Synchronization Status.
4. If you select Pull from Provider, as the action, Designer enables the Overwrite existing elements when importing referenced elements check box.
5. If you want to replace existing elements in the Integration Server with identically named elements referenced by the provider definition (Broker document type), select the Overwrite existing elements when importing referenced elements check box. See Importing and Overwriting References During Synchronization for more information about this topic.
6. Click Synchronize to synchronize the document type and provider definition.
