Synchronization phases

For each data type, the synchronization process is made up in three phases:

  • Sync Analysis

  • Conflict Resolution

  • Sync Execution

Sync Analysis

In this phase, the records are not yet being created or modified in any of the systems. This phase only reads the records and determines the conflicts.

Conflict Resolution

During this phase, conflicts that are identified during the Sync Analysis phase are reported. The security administrator must choose the appropriate action for every record with conflicts. This phase simply gathers the action that will be performed on each record with a conflict.

Sync Execution

In this phase, records are created and modified. For example, records that only exist in LSF will be created in LMRK and records that only exist in LMRK will be created in LSF.

Records with conflicts will be modified or ignored based on the action chosen during the Conflict Resolution page.
