A Sync Activity defines the target and the destination domains to be synced, pre/post actions and the error policy to use.
To add a new sync activity, navigate to Mange→ Maintenance→ Sync, select the plan to add an activity to and click "Add Activity" from the Sync Plan Details Page.

The system will display "Add Sync Activity" page. Consult the screenshot and the table below in order to create a new sync activity in the system.

Sync Types
There are 3 types of destination/target pairs:
- Domain Pattern - Enter source device name, source domain pattern and target device pattern.
All the source domains matching the pattern will be synced to domains with the same names on the target device(s)
For example:
Source Device = QA1, Source Domain = Domain*, Target Device = QA2, QA3
Results - the domain QA1/Domain1 will be synced to QA2/Domain1 and QA3/Domain1
the domain QA1/Domain2 will be synced to QA2/Domain2 and to QA3/Domain3 - Single Domain - Enter source device and domain names (no patterns) and the target device pattern and target domain name
This will sync a single domain from the source to the same or different domain name on the target device(s)
For example:
Source Device = QA1, Source Domain = Domain1, Target Device = QA2, QA3, Target Domain = CopyDomain1
Results - The domain QA1/Domain1 will be synced to QA2/CopyDomain1 and to QA3/CopyDomain1 - Device - Enter source device name and a target device pattern, all the domains from the source device will be synced to the target device(s)
For Example:
Source Device = PROD1, Target Device = DRP*
Results - All the domains from device PROD1 will be synced to devices DRP_Active and DRP_Inactive
| Attribute | Is Mandatory? | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sync Type | Yes | Domain Pattern, Single Domain or Device as explained above |
| Pre Validation - Skip Major Version Check | Yes | Check this option to allow Syncing configuration from higher firmware major release (e.g. 7.5.2.0) to lower major release (e.g. 7.2.0.0) Syncing from higher firmware major release to lower major release may cause features that were introduced in the later version not to work. |
| Pre Validations - Skip Gateway License Features and Options | Yes | Check this options to allow Syncing configuration between devices with unidentical licenses (e.g. the source device has B2B or SQL-ODBC license and the target device does not) |
| Pre Validations - Skip Device Type Check | Yes | Check this option to allow Syncing configuration between higher device types to lower device types (e.g. IDG to XG-45 or XI-52 to XG-45) |
| Approve Object Creation in Source Device | Yes | When both source and target devices firmware versions are 7.5.2.X+ In order to test that the password map alias in the source and target are identical - DPOD will need your approval to create a temporary object in the source device |
| Pre-Action Script | No | A user defined script to run before the task is executed. See user defined scripts for more information |
| Pre-Action Quiesce | No | Should the device(s) be quiesced before the דטמבis executed. |
