Updating a Shared Object Repository from Local Object Repositories

You can update a shared object repository by merging local object repositories associated with one or more components (via the application area) into the shared object repository. The objects that are merged from the local object repositories are then available to any components that use that shared object repository.

In the merge process, the objects in the local object repository for the selected component are moved to the target shared object repository. The component then uses the objects from the updated shared object repository.

If you choose to add local object repositories for more than one component, QuickTest performs multiple merges, merging each component's local object repository with the target object repository one at a time, for all the components in the list. You can view and modify the results of each merge if necessary.

Note: You can only merge local object repositories from components whose application areas are associated with the shared object repository you are updating.
