Synchronize a Data Source

CA Performance Center performs a regular global synchronization with all registered data sources every 5 minutes. You can also manually request a synchronization. Manual synchronization is useful for troubleshooting purposes, or as a means of immediately propagating a configuration change. For example, if you add a group, you can send the change down to the data source immediately by performing a manual synchronization.

When you initiate a manual synchronization, you can select a full or an incremental data source synchronization. You can synchronize a single data source, or multiple data sources.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administrator role.
2. Navigate to the Manage Data Sources page.

   The Manage Data Sources page displays the list of registered data sources.

3. Select the data source that you want to synchronize, and click Resync.

   The Resynchronize Data Source page opens.

   Note: By default, an incremental synchronization is performed. Only the records that are new from the last synchronization timestamp are included.

4. Select the 'Perform a full resynchronization' check box to perform a full resynchronization.

   A message asks you to confirm the action.

5. Click Resync to confirm the synchronization.

   CA Performance Center does the synchronization. A message appears only if any problems occur.
