Synchronize a Remote Package
The Packages view provides a way to synchronize a package on one Orchestrator server with an existing
package on another server.
Synchronizing packages is the only way to obtain all the elements from the remote server. If you
synchronize individual elements, Orchestrator only synchronizes elements that already exist on the local
server. To obtain any new elements from the remote server, you must synchronize the package that contains
those elements.
Procedure
1 From the drop-down menu in the Orchestrator client, select Administer.
2 Click the Packages view.
3 Right-click the package that you want to synchronize and select Synchronize.

the local server.

references. The referenced elements remain unchanged.
