This step determines the type of synchronization that will be run with
this schedule.
Synchronization Type
Specify Automatic, Incremental Update, Fill Reload or Incremental Only.
See Methods of Synchronization
for a description of each option.
Trigger File
Click Run only when trigger file is present at schedule
time and supply the fully
qualified name (i.e. c:\connx32\datasync\trigger.dat) of a trigger
file in the edit box. Trigger files are created by external database
processes and are designed to signal the appropriateness and timing
of a synchronization. For example, a user might not want to run a
scheduled synchronization until an important database backup is complete.
The job that performs the database backup can delete the trigger file,
perform the backup, and then create the trigger file. If the backup
is still being run, the synchronization is further delayed until the
trigger file is found. Once the backup is complete, the trigger file
appears, and the synchronization proceeds as expected.
