Initiating File Synchronization Manually
The Data: Replication File Hierarchy pane displays les that were detected as out of synchronization.
Procedure
◆
To initiate le synchronization manually, perform one of the following:
■
To synchronize the specied les, click Synchronize.
■
Select multiple les with the Shift or Ctrl keys and click Synchronize.
■
Select a folder and select Including Subdirectories to synchronize les within folders and click
Synchronize.
A progress bar graphically displays the status of the verication or synchronization operation. When
complete, the status displays a green Synchronized icon.
Initiating Verify and Synchronize Manually
A manual or scheduled synchronization and verication request is dened as a task that is queued for processing
after the running task completes. Tasks display in the Pending Tasks pane. You can cancel individual tasks. If
you cancel a scheduled task, you risk an unchecked system. Possible consequences of canceling tasks display
in a warning message.
Procedure
1 Select one or more les and folders from the list in the File Hierarchy pane. Multiple les and folders can
be selected from this le list by using the standard Windows multiple selection techniques, Shift + click
and Ctrl + click.
Note You also can right-click on a folder in the tree view (in the left pane of the File Hierarchy pane) to
quickly select Verify and Synchronize from a menu. This option automatically includes subdirectories.
2 When one or more folders are selected, also select the Including Subdirectories check box to ensure that all
les within the folder(s) are also veried and synchronized.
3 Click Verify and Synchronize.
As verify and synchronization runs, you may see its progress in the Current Task pane at the bottom left
of the Data: Replication page. When the verify and synchronization process successfully completes, a green
icon indicates veried and synchronized status.
Each verication and synchronization request (manually or automatically scheduled) is dened as a task
with subsequent tasks queued for processing after the current task is completed. Each task is listed in the
Pending Tasks list to the right of the Current Tasks frame.
Note Individual tasks can be canceled, but canceling automatically triggered tasks can lead to an Unchecked
system. A warning is presented detailing the possible consequences of canceling tasks.
