3 Log in to the remote server.
The Orchestrator Synchronization dialog box opens. It displays the differences between the package
elements. To view only elements that are different on the local and remote server, select Hide identical
from the drop-down menu.
4 View the comparison between the local and remote package elements, click Synchronize and select an
option.
Option Description
none
Local and remote elements have the same version number. No
synchronization is required.
commit
The version of the local element is later. The remote element is overwritten.
update
The version of the remote element is later. The local element is updated. If
an element does not exist locally, it is imported from the remote server to the
local server.
merge
The local and remote packages are overwritten with a merged list of
references. The referenced elements remain unchanged.
NOTE If the remote server does not recognize your certificate, you cannot commit elements.
The synchronized package is reloaded.
What to do next
You can use the updated package content in workflows, actions, policies, and Web views.
Remove a Package
Workflows and actions, as well as other resources, can be reused in many packages. This is why, before you
remove a package, you must decide whether to delete the workflows, actions, policies and other resources
contained in the package.
Procedure
1 In the Orchestrator client, click the Packages view.
2 Right-click the package to delete and select one of the deletion options.
Option Description
Delete
Removes the package only from the Packages view.
Delete element with content
Removes all workflows, actions, policies, Web views, configurations, plug-
in settings or resources that the package contains. Does not remove read-only
elements and the plug-in .dar archive.
CAUTION This action might delete elements that are referenced by other
packages too. To avoid deleting an element that another package needs,
remove any dependencies that you added to the package. To view a list of
all the packages, workflows and policies that reference an element, use the
Find Elements that Use this Element function.
