MS Exchange Synchronization Settings (ttaad2140m000)

	MS Exchange Synchronization Settings (ttaad2140m000) Use this session to configure the Exchange Synchronizer. The Exchange Synchronizer synchronizes contacts and calendar events between Microsoft Exchange and LN CRM: The contact synchronization is a one way synchronization: contacts from LN are synchronized to Microsoft Exchange. The calendar synchronization synchronizes calendars in both directions. All calendar events will be duplicated between LN and Microsoft Exchange. In this session, you can create a schedule that defines how often the Exchange Synchronizer should synchronize. After you specified the configuration settings, click Users and specify the users that require synchronization of their contacts and calendars. Note You can start the Exchange Synchronizer on the LN UI web server. See the Infor LN UI Administration Guide (U9790). Pull mechanism Contacts from LN are synchronized to Microsoft Exchange through a pull mechanism. The Synchronizer is triggered through a pull interval. This interval consists of a number and a time unit, such as 1 hour or 7 days. When triggered, the Synchronizer retrieves all contacts from LN that have changed since the last synchronization run, and synchronizes these contacts to Microsoft Exchange. Calendars are also synchronized using a pull mechanism that is based on a pull interval. When triggered, the Synchronizer retrieves all calendar items from both LN and Microsoft Exchange that are in the present or future. The Synchronizer will not use the pull mechanism to synchronize any events that are in the past. Example You specify a pull interval of 1 hour. You save the configuration settings at 15:20. The Synchronizer will retrieve data at 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, etc. Push mechanism Besides the pull mechanism, the calendar synchronization supports the push notification mechanism. When a calendar event is created, modified, or deleted in Microsoft Exchange or LN, a push notification is sent to the Synchronizer. This notification triggers the synchronization of the involved calendar event.
