The Synchronize page allows the administrator to update the application database to contain the most recent changes in the BIRT Analytics Engine repository. Execute this option after making a change in the analytical repository that alters the database structure, such as the addition, modification, or deletion of a column, table, or other data object.
The Synchronize page displays the following warning:
WARNING: The synchronization process deletes the database and replaces it with the database structure in the Engine. All outdated links between security groups and objects are removed.
Choose OK to update the application database with the BIRT Analytics Engine repository, as shown in Figure 1‑13. A progress animation appears while the synchronization takes place.
