process sharing issue-Any solution other than coping the whole process configuration source XML from provider to consumer. i have got more than 60 projects running which need this new attribute to be enabled in their process.
process sharing -i have marked one project (provider)-Allow other project areas to use the process configuration from this project area and i have configured two consumer projects -Use the process configuration from another project area for this project area and mapped the provider project.
now i am adding one new attribute in provider and saving it but i am unable to see the new attribute consumer which i have added in provider .
And i have also checked the in consumer projects (Final(ignore customization of this data in child project areas).
Any solution other than coping the whole process configuration source XML from provider to consumer.
i have got more than 60 projects running which need this new attribute to be enabled in their process.

Have you considered to ask support and create a PMR? Also see How should I ask a question in the Forum if I want to receive useful answers? for details about what you should have provided if you wanted to help your answer being answered. This should work in general. I think I remember occasions where there were delays or problems.
Under the assumption that your other project areas where created using the "unconfigured process" template, of course.

Have you verified that the consumer project areas were initialized by the "unconfigured process" process template? If not, the process XML in the consumer project area will override what is inherited from the provider project area.

The Sharing the process of a project area help topic contains this note:
Note: Rational Team Concert 4.0.1 includes early support for fine-grained customization, which allows you to customize some configuration data in project areas to extend a shared process without cutting off inheritance. This early support covers the following use cases and requires manually copying snippets of XML into the process specification:
- Adding a new attribute to a work item type and adding that attribute to the work item editor for that type.
- Adding a new literal to an existing enumeration.
- Adding a new enumeration type.
