Repromoting assets

Edit online

About this task

You must have the Managed promotions functional privilege to do this task.

If you made recent changes to an asset's information, you can repromote the updated asset to the already promoted target stages.

If you want to update an asset, you can correct an attribute setting or modify the asset's description. If the asset is already promoted to a target stage, make the change directly in the source stage. Then, repromote the updated asset to the target stage, just as you did with the previous version. In a multistage environment, you need to repromote the updated assets in each of the participating webMethods API Gateway instances.
