Enabling and disabling synchronization

Enable or disable the synchronization of nodes in a deployment of HCL Connections™.

You can enable the following types of synchronization from the Deployment Manager:

  • Automatic synchronization – Updates occur on a schedule. This type of synchronization is enabled by default in network deployments
  • Startup synchronization – Updates occur each time the server is started

To enable or disable synchronization, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the WebSphere® Application Server Integrated Solutions Console on the system that hosts the Deployment Manager and click System Administration > Node agents.

  2. Click the nodeagent link for the node for which you are enabling or disabling synchronization.

  3. In the Additional Properties section, click File synchronization service.

  4. Perform one of the following actions:

    • To turn on synchronization, select the Automatic synchronization and Startup synchronization check boxes.
    • To turn off synchronization, clear the Automatic synchronization and Startup synchronization check boxes.
    • Click Save.

  5. Click System Administration > Node agents.

  6. Select the check box of the node for which you are enabling or disabling synchronization, and click Restart.

    If you are turning synchronization on or off for more than one node, perform this step for each node.

  7. Restart the Deployment Manager.

To perform a full synchronization, see the Synchronizing nodes topic.
