Synchronizing Your Clusters

The Self Service Portal uses a database holding the truth about the stream and applications that exist within your company. In some cases, e.g. when a cluster is offline for some time, or a new cluster is added, the streams might not have been created and configured on that cluster, and clusters become out of sync. When this is the case, the "Synchronize" feature can be used to bring the underlying clusters back in sync.

Use the features below only if you know what you are doing.

Synchronizing an Environment

  4. Click "Synchronize" and wait for all streams to be synchronized.
