FSDB CM repository is not accesible from KM content in dialog instance

Question

Hello, we have installed a dialog instance in our EP60 system.
When we connect using this dialog instance, we can not access to this KM repository content type (FSDB Km content).
Our central instance name is portalts01(you can see in Windows Landscape System ), and our dialog instance is name portalpr02
Here is the properties of one of these ("de_viaje"):
View "de_viaje"
Description  
Prefix (must start with /) *   /de_viaje
Persistence Mode *             fsdb
Repository ID in Database *    de_viaje
Root Directory                 E:\repositorios\de_viaje
Root Directory for Versions    E:\repositorios\de_viaje_v
Security Manager               AclSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache              ca_rsrc_acl
Windows Landscape System       portalts01
Cache                          ca_cm
Cache for small content(<32KB)   not set
Any idea to make visible in both instances ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ray,
Deploying a repository manager means a hot KM deployment, which isn't supported at all, see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bb1f18be-0801-0010-ffa0-e3495f7401bc and SAP note 894884. After such a deployment, the KM is restarted, but you have some kind of "shadow KM" in memory, which leads for most things to an unpredictable behaviour.
In contrast to the documents reffered to above, also the standard KM delivery from SAP still behaves in an uncontrolled way for many issues.
That's why after a KM hot deployment, you should restart your server if you realize anything "unusual". A workaround is to debug your code and using the hot code replacement feature (which only works in some situations, but that's better than nothing...).
Hope it helps
