This method allows you to create a recurring schedule to automatically run specific steps in a sync workflow.
When scheduling a sync workflow, you can choose the workflow steps to run, specify how frequently you want to run the steps, and set the date and time when you want the run schedule to come into effect. If you have two or more Synchronization Service instances installed in your environment, you can also select a Synchronization Service instance to be used for running the sync workflow.
A scheduled sync workflow automatically commits changes to the target data system.
To run a sync workflow on a recurring schedule
- In the Synchronization Service Administration Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
- Click Schedule below the name of the sync workflow you want to run on a recurring schedule.
- In the dialog box that opens, select the Schedule the task to run check box, and then specify a schedule.
- If there are several Synchronization Service instances deployed in your environment, under Run the task on, select the computer that hosts the Synchronization Service instance you want to use for running the sync workflow.
- Expand Sync Workflow Steps, and then select the check boxes next to the workflow steps you want to run on the schedule.
- Click OK to activate the schedule.
