> ##### Synchronization Scenarios

> Scenario One

> The Repository is configured for use with Interstage BPM, and there are no process definitions published in Interstage BPM. When a process definition is published in Interstage BPM, it is automatically published to the Repository. If the connection between Interstage BPM and the Repository should be broken for any reason, the process definitions published in Interstage BPM, and those published in the Repository could get out of sync. Clicking the Synchronize button on the Synchronize Interstage Business Process Manager with the Repository page will synchronize them.

> For example, "Process Definition One" and "Process Definition Two" are published in both Interstage BPM and the Repository. As "Process Definition Three" is being published in Interstage BPM, the connection is lost between Interstage BPM and the Repository. The process definition will be published in Interstage BPM, but not in the Repository. When you click the Synchronize button on the Synchronize Interstage Business Process Manager with the Repository page, Interstage BPM will compare the process definitions published in Interstage BPM with the process definitions published in the Repository. The comparison will reveal that "Process Definition Three" is not in the Repository, so "Process Definition Three" will be published to the Repository.

> Scenario Two

> "Process Definition One" through "Process Definition Three" are published in Interstage BPM and the Repository. The installation program updates the database by creating a new database. Effectively, this removes all process definitions from the database. Clicking the Synchronize button on the Synchronize Interstage Business Process Manager with the Repository page in this case will not remove all process definitions from the Repository server. Actually, it will only remove "Process Definition One" through "Process Definition Three", the process definitions that were published from the Interstage BPM Server to the Repository.

> Scenario Three

> Interstage BPM and the Repository are installed, but not connected. "Process Definition One" through "Process Definition Three" are published in Interstage BPM. Because there is no connection between Interstage BPM and the Repository, there are no process definitions published in the Repository. If you subsequently connect Interstage BPM, and the Repository, clicking the Synchronize button on the Synchronize Interstage Business Process Manager with the Repository page will publish "Process Definition One" through "Process Definition Three" to the Repository.
