Refreshing Shortcut Properties

Refreshing Shortcut Properties

When working with shortcuts, ensure you have the most recent version of the local or global shortcut in the workspace.
If you launch the Designer and then drag into the workspace a shortcut or a mapping or mapplet that uses a shortcut, you view the current version of the object that the shortcut references. However, if another user then edits and saves changes to the referenced object, the shortcut displayed in the workspace is no longer an accurate description of the referenced object. When you work in this type of environment, verify that you have updated the view of local and global shortcuts.
The Integration Service always uses the latest version of a referenced object. When the Integration Service starts a session containing a shortcut, it accesses the repository to retrieve the mapping. If the mapping contains a shortcut, the Integration Service accesses the repository for details about the original object.
