Schedule Synchronization for a Facility
In a multi-site deployment of Loftware Enterprise SP, you can schedule periodic replication of objects from headquarters (HQ) 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 facility
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 periodic replication of transactional data used for auditing from the facility to headquarters. Alternatively, you can configure the synchronization for a facility to occur only when started manually.
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: For information about what is synchronized when different types of synchronization are performed, see What Items Are Synchronized.
Schedule Synchronization of Objects to Facilities
You can either schedule periodic replication of objects from headquarters to a facility, or configure replication to occur only if started manually.
To schedule 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.
- In System
- Navigate to and open the facility for which you want to configure synchronization.
- In the Configuration Sync panel, specify the frequency for replication of objects.
Tip: If you want synchronization to occur only when explicitly started, select Manual Only. If you want to configure a more complex schedule than daily or every so many hours, select Cron Expression and enter a cron expression for the schedule.

Schedule Synchronization of Transactional Data to Headquarters
You can either schedule periodic replication of transactional data used for auditing from the facility to headquarters, or configure replication to occur only if started manually.
To schedule replication of transactional data, 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.
- In System
- Navigate to and open the facility for which you want to configure synchronization.
- In the Transaction Sync panel, specify the frequency for replication of transactional data.
Tip: If you want synchronization to occur only when explicitly started, select Manual Only. If you want to configure a more complex schedule than daily or every so many hours, select Cron Expression and enter a cron expression for the schedule.
