Synchronize Master and Replica Servers

The synchronization process can be manually activated at any time, whether replication is running or not. Manual synchronization is recommended in the following situations:

• Before starting replication on servers with large amounts of data and a heavy update rate.
• After a lengthy network failure, if automatic synchronization is not activated.
• After restarting one of the participating servers, if automatic synchronization is not activated.

To synchronize the Master and the Replica servers

1. From the Manager, select the scenario you want to synchronize.
2. Click Synchronize on the Standard toolbar, or select the Synchronize option from the Tools menu.
3. The Synchronization dialog appears, displaying the synchronization options.
3. Choose the desired options. For more information about the synchronization methods, see Synchronization Methods.
4. Note: You can also set synchronization to run automatically at pre-scheduled hours on specific days, and exclude it from specific dates. For more information, see Schedule Synchronization.
5. Click OK to start the synchronization according to the method you selected.
6. Note: You can issue a synchronization command while a Replica is suspended; however it is performed only after the replication is resumed.
7. After the synchronization process starts, the Statistics tab opens, informing you thatSynchronization is in progress.
