Content Type Synchronization
When you have predefined content types that you want to use for specific types of folders or container objects on an EcoStruxure BMS server, you can reuse the content types on another EcoStruxure BMS server. You reuse the content types by configuring a lead-shadow relationship on the shadow object.
Lead-shadow relationship means that properties of the lead object are propagated to the shadow object.
Content types saved on an Enterprise Central are not automatically propagated to folders or container objects on Enterprise Servers in the EcoStruxure BMS. Content types saved on an Enterprise Server are automatically propagated to folders or container objects on automation servers in the EcoStruxure BMS.
When you have configured a lead-shadow relationship, the shadow object becomes read-only.
When logged on to a top-tier EcoStruxure BMS server, you can disconnect a synchronized folder or container object on a lower-tier EcoStruxure BMS server from content type on the top-tier EcoStruxure BMS server. The folder or container object then becomes writeable. When you have disconnected, the current configuration of the folder or container object is retained.
