SystemManually Synchronize a Facility with Headquarters

In a multi-site deployment of Loftware Enterprise SP, you can manually initiate the replication of objects from headquarters (HQ)Closed The location of a Loftware Application Server and Loftware Database Server that are associated with facilities. These servers must be associated with a Loftware license for which Usage is set to Production and Multi-Site is set to true. Each HQ can communicate with multiple facilities. By synchronizing, an HQ can replicate objects to facilities and replicate transactional data generated at facilities back to the HQ. to a facilityClosed An object in Loftware that represents the location of a Loftware Application Server and Loftware Database Server that are associated with a headquarters (HQ). These servers must be associated with a Loftware license for which Usage is set to Facility and Multi-Site is set to true. Each facility can communicate with only one headquarters. By synchronizing, an HQ can replicate objects to facilities and replicate transactional data generated at facilities back to the HQ., and the replication of transactional data used for auditing from the facility to headquarters.

Note: Facilities and other functionality related to multi-site deployment are available only if your Loftware Enterprise SP license has the Multi-Site property enabled. Some options are displayed only if you are signed in to the headquarters site.

Tip: You can configure synchronization to occur automatically according to a schedule. For more information, see Schedule Synchronization for a Facility.

Tip: For information about what is synchronized when different types of synchronization are performed, see What Items Are Synchronized.

Synchronize Objects

You can manually initiate replication of objects from headquarters to a facility.

WARNING: Synchronization of objects is configured at both HQ and facilities. If the folder already exists at a facility and you do not want some existing objects in that folder to be changed or deleted through replication, you must disable replication for those objects at the facility. For more information, see Troubleshoot Multi-Site Deployment.

To initiate the replication of objects, perform the following steps.

Note: To perform this task, you must be signed in as the ClientAdmin or SuperAdmin user. For more information, see Controlling Access to System Settings.

  1. In System System Management, click Facilities.
