What Happens When You Overwrite Elements on the Integration Server?
If you choose to overwrite existing elements when you are creating a document type or synchronizing, Integration Server does the following when it encounters existing elements with the same names as referenced elements:
*If the Write ACL of a referenced element is set to WmPrivate, the Integration Server skips that element. The Integration Server considers the element to be in sync.
*If the lock can be obtained for all referenced elements and the current user has write permission for the elements, the Integration Server overwrites the existing elements and synchronization (or document type creation) succeeds.
During synchronization, if Integration Server cannot overwrite one of the elements referenced by the Broker document type, the synchronization fails. The Integration Server does not update any of the referenced elements or the publishable document type. Similarly, when you create a publishable document type from a Broker document type, if the Integration Server cannot overwrite one of the elements referenced by the Broker document type, the Integration Server does not create the publishable document type.
