Synchronize NIM Master Servers

NIM master server resource and property synchronization is based on the CONFIG_KEY_IMG_IMAGELIST_SYNC_INTERVAL key in install_path\conf\caimgconf.cfg. The default setting is 12 hours. You also can synchronize on demand.

Note: caimgconf.cfg changes require a restart of the CAAIPApache service.
