How to redistribute definitions to parallel kernels

Question

I am trying to redistribute a definition after removing the definition on parallel kernels.
Sample code on version 10.4.0.0:

x=3;  
DistributeDefinitions[x]  (* {x} *)
ParallelEvaluate[Print[x];];  (*  displayed as "3", "3", ... *)
ParallelEvaluate[Remove[x];];
DistributeDefinitions[x]  (* {} *)
ParallelEvaluate[Print[x];];  (* displayed as "x", "x", ... *)

The first behavior of parallel Print[x] is as expected, but the second is not. For unchanged x on the master kernel, is there a way to make DistribteDefinitions[x] work again ?

Answer 1

You can run

x = 3;
DistributeDefinitions[x];
ParallelEvaluate[Print[x]];
ParallelEvaluate[Remove[x];];
x++;
DistributeDefinitions[x];
x--;
ParallelEvaluate[Print[x]];

If that works for you.

Answer 2

I found another answer in Shared variable can not be distributed again after UnsetShared.
Using Parallel`Developer`ClearDistributedDefinitions[],

SetOptions[{ParallelEvaluate}, DistributedContexts -> None]; (* for the avoidance of confusion in distributing definitions *)
x=3;  
DistributeDefinitions[x]
(* {x} *)
ParallelEvaluate[Print[x];];
ParallelEvaluate[Remove[x];];
Parallel`Developer`ClearDistributedDefinitions[];
DistributeDefinitions[x]
(* {x} *)
ParallelEvaluate[Print[x];];

I was able to observe the redistribution of x to parallel kernels.
