Advertisements that are sent to a secondary site target collection may not be
updated to reflect collection dynamics. Because of this, if a client is removed

the advertisement.

Offer Manager on secondary sites does not recognize collection deltas and leaves
a populated instruction file.

RESOLUTION
==========

Server version 2.0. For additional information about how to do so, please see
