CONNX Data Synchronization enables the user to execute globally scheduled tasks that occur simultaneously with synchronization of data. These tasks can be any sort of operation, including batch files, executable files, backups, or data dumps. Execution of the command is automatic.

Tasks that should not be included in globally scheduled synchronization tasks include any task that requires input from a user. Such tasks cause the synchronization to stop abruptly as it waits for user input.

 

There are three types of tasks available:

  • Global Scheduled Synchronization Tasks
    Global Scheduled Synchronization Tasks can be performed for every scheduled synchronization.
     

    • Before Sync Task
      Enter the name of the executable file or batch script to be executed before scheduled syncs start.  Include the path to the executable along with any parameters.

    • On Success Task
      Enter the name of the executable file or batch script to be executed after syncs complete with no errors.  Include the path to the executable along with any parameters.

    • On Failure Task
      Enter the name of the executable file or batch script to be executed after syncs complete with an error.  Include the path to the executable along with any parameters.

    •  

  • Global On Demand Synchronization Tasks
    Global On-Demand Synchronization tasks can be performed for every interactive synchronization that is manually started.
     

    • Before Sync Task
      Enter the name of the executable file or batch script to be executed before scheduled syncs start.  Include the path to the executable along with any parameters.

    • On success Task
      Enter the name of the executable file or batch script to be executed after syncs complete with no errors.  Include the path to the executable along with any parameters.

    • On Failure Task
      Enter the name of the executable file or batch script to be executed after syncs complete with an error.  Include the path to the executable along with any parameters.

Select Halt synchronization if "Before Sync Task" fails to prevent syncs from running if the Before Sync Task is not successful.
