Steps for refreshing System Manager and updating components

Refreshing System Manager reloads objects from the local repository into System Manager, but does not update InterChange Server Express. For example, if you refresh System Manager after adding a newly created business object definition, you can add the new business object to the connector's supported business object list and bind the connector to a collaboration port. But InterChange Server Express is not aware of the business object unless you reboot the server, causing the business object's specifications to be loaded from the repository into the server's cache.

Perform the following steps to refresh System Manager:

  1. In System Manager, right-click the server instance.
  2. Click Refresh.

The following describes which components can be updated during system run time:

Business objects
Not updated during run time. The repository is read only once when InterChange Server Express starts up.

Collaboration object properties
Updated during run time. For example, collaboration object trace levels take effect as soon as they are set.

Collaboration object code changes
Updated during system run time.

Map code changes
Updated during system run time. If mapping code is updated and recompiled, connectors must be rebound to the altered maps.
