I've got a hierarchy/replicaiton quirk that I'm trying to learn more about. Imagine the following:
You've got a software package with detection and applicability rules. This package is being delivered by a Managed Software Delivery. The package, rules, MSD, and associated targets are all happily replicating to child SMPs.
Then I come in and decide to modify the applicability rules on the parent. I save the changes, schedule a complete replication to a child server (because there's no simple way that I know of to just replicate software packages and associated info to child servers). The replication completes just fine. I then go to a targeted agent, do an update, and... no change to the applicability rule. I've tried policy updates, delta resource membership updates, running ns.package_refresh, etc. In my experience, if I let it sit long enough (which is too long for my patience most of the time), the applicability rule will update eventually.
So, what processes do I need to kick off manually so I can quickly replicate changes to detection/applicability rules to my child NSs and have their agents "see" the change?
