Refreshing the Distributor

Any time you make a change in eDirectory that affects the Distributor, you must manually refresh the Distributor so that it will know of that change. The Build schedule itself only provides the Distributor with knowledge of changes to existing Distributions it already knows about.

For example, you create a new Distribution. The Build schedule will not make the Distributor aware of the new Distribution. You must manually refresh the Distributor.

To refresh the Distributor:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the Distributor object.

  2. Click Refresh Distributor.

    This causes the Distributor to re-read eDirectory and obtain all of the changes that were made in eDirectory. The Distributor Agent will then be able to act on any changes applicable to the Distributor.

    To perform this task in iManager, see Forcing TED Agent Actions .

Distribution building will begin according to the current Build schedule. The Distribution will be sent according to the Send schedule.

As soon as Subscribers receive an entire Distribution, they will extract the contents to their working directories that are specified in the Subscriber objects' properties.
