I figured ou myself and would like to share:

To force updating the hostconfiguration the repository has to be bootstrapped.  
By default **bootstrapping is disabled** after first deploy. To enable bootstrapping a parameter in **setenv.sh** (which is in CATALINA\_BASE Directory in my case) must be set to true.

```auto
REP_OPTS="-Drepo.bootstrap=true -Drepo.config=file:${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/repository.xml"

```

To get this working **CATALINA\_BASE** must be set to correct directory (normally /opt/cms/tomcat).  
As written in another post [Prepare Environment for v14:: Directories](https://community.bloomreach.com/t/prepare-environment-for-v14-directories/1720) the documentation ([Configure the application server](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/library/enterprise/installation-and-configuration/linux-installation-manual.html)) is not correct. CATALINA\_BASE cannot be set in setenv.sh - must be set in startup-skript!!
