A PIM sync job is a batch job on one computer in a cluster that allows the PIM synchronization workload for all users to be divided among all computers in the cluster. For more information about PIM synchronization, see the Architectural Reference Guide.
In order to reduce the workload and performance impact of synchronization, configure PIM sync jobs to use incremental synchronization. Incremental synchronization updates only changed items. Items that are deleted on Outlook or Lotus, however, are not flagged as changed. Therefore, the PIMSync configuration options also allow you to determine how often full synchronization should occur.
The following configuration options are available:
|
Option |
Description |
|
Enable Incremental Sync |
Select this option to get and synchronize only updated items. |
|
Do full sync on a user when last full sync is past |
Set an interval after which a full synchronization is required. This is necessary because deletions in Outlook and Lotus do not appear as updates and, therefore, are not synchronized during an incremental sync. |
|
Only allow full sync between the hours |
Select this option to limit the hours during which full synchronization is permitted to off-peak hours. |
