SYNCHRONIZE
the interval during which the source file must remain unchanged to be
considered for synchronization. The default unit of time is MINUTES. If
omitted, the openupdate interval is 5 minutes.
The time elapsed is computed from the last time the file was modified. The
candidate files can be opened for WRITE or READ-WRITE access. The
exclusion mode must be SHARED or PROTECTED. Recovery must be
enabled for the file set.
If a file is being updated at the time AutoSYNC attempts to synchronize it, it is
skipped. To force the synchronization of a file as it is being modified, specify
the UNPROTECTED option described below on page 8-106.
OPENUPDATE is ignored if:

a file is opened for EXCLUSIVE access

a file is audited

the global SYNCRECOVER parameter is set to OFF.
OWNER user-id | user-name
the owner of the destination file set.
If OWNER is omitted, the owner of the source file is retained.
PRI[ORITY] priority
the process priority at which the ASYSYNC process is to run. The actual
priority does not exceed the MAXPRIORITY of the AutoSYNC user.
PURGE
specifies that any file that is in the destination file set but is not in the source
file set will be purged. By default AutoSYNC does not purge any file in the
destination file set.
To exclude files from being purged on the destination, use the
EXCLUDEPURGE option.
Guardian file sets:

If PURGE is specified, the subvolume portion of the source and destination
file sets must be fully qualified (no wild-card characters or "*").
Note for OSS file sets. AutoSYNC only synchronizes updates that are actually sent
to the disk process. Any updates that are buffered in the application process (such as
performed by the file system or C runtime) are not synchronized until they are
transmitted to the disk process.
Note for OSS file sets. If OWNER is specified and OWNERGROUP is omitted, the
OWNERGROUP of the file set is set to the group of the source file, not the group
specified by OWNER.
