1. Verify that the current system time is within the maintenance window timeframe defined for the plan.
2. Verify that both source and target devices' firmware levels are above 7.1.0.0
3. If a deployment policy was specified in the sync activity definition - make sure it exists
4. If a deployment policy variables object was specified in the sync activity definition - make sure it exists
5. Check that the source and target device type match (IDG > XB-62 > XI-52 > XG-45) - you can turn off this check in the sync activity definition
6. Check that the source device major firmware level is lower or equal to the target device major firmware level - you can turn off this check in the sync activity definition
7. Check that the target device contains the same licenses/features of the source device (e.g. B2B, SQL-ODBC, Tibco-ESM) - you can turn off this check in the sync activity definition
8. <about passwords>
9. Export the source domain's configuration
10. If pre-quiesce was requested - check that the domain is not already quiesced
11. Run the user's pre-script (if requested in the activity), the task will stop if the script return value is larger than 0
12. Issue a Quiesce domain/device SOMA (if requested in the activity) 
13. Wait for the device or domain to finish quiescing. A timeout value may be specified for the Quiesce SOMA (see Configurable Parameters and Settings), 
    DPOD will cancel the task if the domain(s) are not yet quiesced 3 minutes after the specified timeout, and will issue an Unquiesce SOMA
14. Perform an Import Dry-run to try and detect any errors before the actual Import
15. Delete objects on the target domain (DPOD does not use "reset domain" so the passwords on the target domains will not be deleted) - 
    The following object types will be deleted:
    

    WSGateway
    MultiProtocolGateway
    XMLFirewallService
    SSLProxyService
    HTTPService
    B2BGateway
    TCPProxyService
    WebTokenService
    WebAppFW
    XSLProxyService
    CloudGatewayService
    SQLDataSource
    MQQMGroup
    MQQM
    ISAMReverseProxy
    TibcoEMSServer
    LoadBalancerGroup
    WebSphereJMSServer

16. Import the configuration into the target domain

17. Save config on the target domain
18. Unquiesce the device/domain (if it was previously quiesced by this task) 
19. Wait for the device/domain to unquiesce. A timeout value may be specified for this operation. 3 minutes after the timeout, DPOD will stop waiting for the unquiesce operation and will fail the task (the device's unquiesce operation will not be interrupted though)
20. Run the user's post-task script (if requested in the activity) 

When all the plan's tasks completed execution, the post-plan script will be executed (if requested in the plan settings)
