In the Object Repository Manager Main Window, select Tools > Update from Local Repository.

• You can select multiple tests and components.
• For actions: You can add only tests containing actions that are associated with the shared object repository you are updating and whose local object repositories contain objects.
• For components: You can add components only if you are currently connected to the ALM project in which they are stored. The components must be associated (via their application area) with the shared object repository you are updating and their local object repositories must contain objects.
• Before each merge, OpenText Functional Testing checks whether the local object repository is in use by another user. If so, the local object repository is locked and the objects for the selected action or component cannot be moved to the target shared object repository. A warning message is displayed. The merge can be performed when the local object repository is no longer in use by the other user.
