Refreshing the management directory

Refreshing the management directory for a service instance gathers existing configuration data on the service instance from the z/OS system. This data might be used in the customization dialogs of the service or when updating the system configuration. A service instances' refresh data can also be used in the customization dialogs or update processing of another service that has dependencies on the service that provides the refresh data.

Note:

When to refresh the management directory:

Refresh the management directory in these situations:

You are prompted to refresh the management directory when attempting to customize a service that requires refresh data for its customization.

You can start refresh from the list of services in the list view of the workplace (see Displaying the refresh management directory panel for a service instance).

Note:
There is an icon Refresh console and a menu item View --> Refresh console F5. This merely refreshes the workplace with data from the management directory. Do not confuse this with refreshing the management directory with data from a z/OS system.
