# About SDS Distribution Errors

Flow Through Provisioning synchronizes user and services data updates between the MiCollab database and MiVoice Business system databases in a sharing network. If you make an update in the MiCollab USP database and the update is not successfully shared to all the other elements in the sharing network, a distribution error is sent to the MiCollab SDS Distribution Errors application. If the number of distribution errors exceeds an SDS alarm threshold, a data distribution alarm is generated in the Event Viewer application.

The SDS Distribution Error application allows you to view and manage distribution errors and pending updates:

- Distribution Errors are updates that could not be applied to the destination elements.

- Pending Updates are updates that have not yet been applied to the destination elements.

From this application, you can:

- reload the list of distribution errors

- export the errors to a file

- delete updates

- retry failed updates

- filter errors in the list.

## Launching the SDS Distribution Error Application

Note: The SDS Distribution Error application is only available if Flow Through Provisioning has been enabled between MiCollab and MiVoice Business platforms.

1. Under Administration, click SDS Distribution Errors.

2. Resolve any distribution errors.
