Task: Update topology for selected units
Automatic topology synchronization (see Automatic topology synchronization on page 121) is not
supported on some units supported by plug-ins. To keep these units synchronized with the DSView
3 software, you may instead schedule the update topology task.
This task updates the DSView 3 software database when a change occurs in a units. Examples of
changes are the adding/removing of an IQ adaptor, cascade switch or power device. This task
performs the same operations as the Resync Unit Wizard (see Resynchronizing units on page 286).
Once this task is added, you may run it on demand at any time; see Running tasks manually on
