ALTER SYNCFILESET
If the start time is later than the stop time, then it is assumed the
synchronization window crosses into the next day.
STOP hh:mm:ss | NO STOP
the ending time of the synchronization window. The time is entered in the
format hour:minute:seconds between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59. The maximum
window is 24 hours.
If the stop time is smaller than the start time, then it is assumed the
synchronization window crosses into the next day.
If STOP is omitted but START is specified, synchronization happens once a
day at the specified START time.
TIMEEX[ACT] | NO TIMEEX[ACT]
a file is synchronized if the modification timestamp of the source does not
exactly match the modification timestamp of the destination file.
By default, a file is synchronized only when the source file has been modified
after the destination file was last modified.
In all cases, the comparison of timestamps accounts for differences in system
clocks and time zones.
TRIGGER { tacl-command | oss-shell-command } | NO TRIGGER
a TACL command or OSS shell command that is executed by AutoSYNC for
each file in the synchronized file set after the file has been moved to the
destination.
The command line contains four built-in arguments. Each argument starts with
a pound sign (#) and is terminated by a TACL delimiter character such as a
space or a comma, or by a OSS shell delimiter such as a space or a
semicolon. Arguments can be specified in either upper or lower case. In the
current release, AUTOSYNC supports the following built-in arguments:

#SYNCFILE is replaced with the destination file that has been created or
replaced by AutoSYNC. For OSS files, the absolute pathname is specified.
Note on symbolic links. Because source and destination modification
timestamps of symbolic links never match, TIMEEXACT is ignored if specified
for symbolic links. For further details on symbolic link synchronization, see
paragraph Modification Timestamp of Symbolic Links on page 5-4
Note on SQL Shorthand Views.
A SQL view has no modification timestamp.
Instead AutoSYNC uses creation timestamps. This prevents a shorthand view
from being synchronized every time the file set is synchronized.
However if TIMEEXACT is specified, the shorthand view will always be
synchronized because the creation time of the destination is always newer
than the creation time of the source. For further details on SQL View
synchronization, see paragraph SQL Views on page 3-8.
