Updating the Central Repository (SAP Library

Updating the Central Repository

Use

If a system has already been registered with the central repository, then you can update the central repository on demand. It is sensible to do this if:

You have just completed configuration changes on a system, have updated the local repository, and now wish to make the changes immediately visible in the central repository.
You have not set up the CCMS_REPOSITORY_RECONCILIATION job to run automatically at set periods. In this case, the central repository is updated only when you explicitly start an update with this function.

Procedure

Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® Alert monitor. Alternatively call Transaction RZ21.

Choose Techn. Infrastructure ® System repository ® Update (central).

The transaction checks to see if there is currently a suitable background job in the state scheduled, released, or running. If there is not, the transaction schedules a job to update the central repository, after first asking you for job start conditions. The job is called CCMS_REPOSITORY_RECONCILIATION. The job reports changes made to the local repository only since its last report to the central repository. Job run times are therefore usually less than 30 seconds.

When the job has finished, the central and local repositories are updated. The transaction does not wait for this event.
