Scheduled Synchronization
HP AutoSYNC User’s Guide—522580-015
4-5
BATCHID
In addition, you can specify both START and STOP times. If you specify only START,
AutoSYNC performs a daily synchronization at the specified time and the INTERVAL, if
specified, is ignored.
If you specify both START and STOP, the AutoSYNC performs the synchronization at
each interval between the specified times.
BATCHID
If a user schedules multiple synchronizations to a destination system, they are
executed serially. To increase parallelism, specify a different BATCHID for each
collection that you want to execute in parallel. AutoSYNC runs a separate ASYSYNC
process for each BATCHID.
Guardian file sets and OSS file sets can be synchronized using the same BATCHID.
When multiple file sets are scheduled for one BATCHID and an error occurs on one of
the file sets, AutoSYNC continues synchronization of the other file sets for that
process.
Suspend
If you want to configure a SYNCFILESET but prevent the start of synchronization until
a later time, specify the SUSPEND option. The synchronization will not execute until
you issue the ACTIVATE command.
Schedule Inquiries and Updates
Once a SYNCFILESET has been configured, you can use other commands to modify
the configuration. If you update or suspend an active synchronization, the
synchronization is terminated as soon as possible, but after the completion of any file
being synchronized.
When a scheduled synchronization is modified, it is rescheduled with the new
configuration. Thus, the synchronization will be performed at the first opportunity.
INFO SYNCFILESET (and INFO BATCHID)
This command displays the current schedule; each item is identified by a number or file
set ID. The file set ID or BATCHID can be used in the commands to update the
schedule. See INFO SYNCFILESET
on page 8-72 and INFO BATCHID on page 8-70.
ALTER SYNCFILESET (and ALTER BATCHID)
You can change any of the file set options, including the source and destination file
sets. See ALTER SYNCFILESET
on page 8-34 and ALTER BATCHID on page 8-25.
Altering a SYNCFILESET will cause it to be rescheduled and performed at the first
opportunity.
