By now most of us know that in SharePoint 2010 we have Metadata Services which
help us manage the cotent types across site collections, web apps, farms. It helps
us define a hub site collection (to say it is the place where we define our all 
content types and we can also call it as PROVIDER OF CONTENT TYPES).

Lot of information is already available on this on **_[net](http://www.bing.com/search?q=metadata%20services%20content%20type%20sp%202010&mkt=en-us&FORM=TOOLBR&DI=6244&CE=14.0&CM=SearchWeb).

So I thought of trying this wonderfull feature and followed the steps:

1,Created a new site collection called PROVIDER HUB Content Types.

2.Added this as a Hub in the Metadata Service Application,associated the Web App
to this service
 Created a Content Type “MyFirstContentType” in the hub site collection(
step 1)

3.Created a new site collection CONSUMER, and now I assumed that this content type
to should be available (as the web-application for this site collection uses the
same Managed Metadata Service. But to my surprise that CT was not available. I thought
my understanding is wrong about this new feature so I tried to look around and found
that:

 1. I checked the managed metadata service proxy and made sure the checkbox for the
    option to Consume content types from the content type gallery and Push down content
    type publishing updates from the content type gallery. So basically all 4 checkboxes
    were checked.
 2. Then realized that there are two important TIMERJOB “**Content Type Subscriber**”
    for every consuming web-app & “**Content Hub Job(When you unpublish a [published content typ](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-content-type-publishing-06f39ac0-5576-4b68-abbc-82b68334889b)
    e, any copies of the content type that are being used on sites that subscribe to
    this hub will become unsealed, which means they will no longer be read-only and
    they can be managed locally on the sites where they are in use. Based on my understanding,
    this is managed by the content type hub timer job.)**” that I could see in the 
    Central Admin so I manually kicked the two timer jobs:  Content Hub job, and then
    the Content Type Subscriber
     That’s it now I had the new content type in my Consumer
    web-application.

So just remember if you make any changes to the CONTENT TYPES in the HUB site collection
and want it to be propagated immediately to the CONSUMING site-collections, lists,
libraries just go to the Central Admin and manually kick of the **CONTENT TYPE SUBSCRIBER
TimerJob**, this will ensure that the content type changes are propagated immediately
to all the consuming list/libraries for that web-app. Remember that this timerjob
is one per web-app.
