DELETE SYNCFILESET (and DELETE BATCHID)

The synchronization is terminated and deleted from the schedule. See DELETE

SYNCFILESET on page 8-64 and DELETE BATCHID on page 8-64.

SUSPEND SYNCFILESET (and SUSPEND BATCHID)

The synchronization is terminated, but retained in the schedule in a suspended state.

See SUSPEND SYNCFILESET on page 8-92 and SUSPEND BATCHID on page 8-91.

ACTIVATE SYNCFILESET (and ACTIVATE BATCHID)

A suspended synchronization is rescheduled and will be performed at the first

opportunity. See ACTIVATE SYNCFILESET on page 8-6 and ACTIVATE BATCHID on

page 8-5.

Synchronization Inquiries

The STATUS commands display the current activity of AutoSYNC, including the state

of currently active synchronizations and the result of the last completed

synchronization. The INFO command displays the configuration and log files.

STATUS AUTOSYNC

This command displays a status of the entire AutoSYNC subsystem. See STATUS

AUTOSYNC on page 8-86.

STATUS SYNC

STATUS SYNC displays information from all the synchronization processes. STATUS

BATCHID and STATUS SYNCFILESET display status information for a subset of the

synchronization processes.

Each command has a DETAIL option. If detailed information is requested, some items

are always displayed and some items are displayed only if the corresponding attribute

has been configured for the file set.

Security and Authorization

A scheduled synchronization is managed by the AutoSYNC monitor process. The

monitor process starts ASYSYNCP processes for each AutoSYNC user who has been

added and who has configured synchronization file sets.

Initially, the ASYSYNCP process runs under the user ID of the authorizer, but when

accessing files, the ASYSYNCP process uses only the user ID and access rights of the

user who configured the file sets. When the process starts, it logs on as the user ID.

The change of user ID succeeds only when the authorizer is the Super user, the group

manager, or the AutoSYNC user. If the logon operation fails, ASYSYNCP terminates.
