About Briefcases

Briefcases can help you synchronize, copy, and maintain objects or folders of objects between your databases. A Briefcase synchronizes the objects in folders of your choosing or everything visible in the database. It does so by copying, renaming, and deleting objects.

A Briefcase contains the synchronization definition between the currently working database(Current Database) and other compatible database(Remote Database).

The Briefcase Editor

The Briefcase Editor can define a new briefcase by setting the Briefcase options as needed.

Pressing the Change link bellow the Remote Database label will enable you to set the remote database or change the settings of the existing one.

Pressing the Preview button allows you to see the actions that the synchronization will take when it runs. You have the opportunity to review the list of operations and ensure that the synchronization will do what you expect.

Pressing the Synchronize button will start run the synchronization. After the run, the two databases are "in sync."

The Briefcase Options

· Synchronize Direction the direction of synchronization can be changed from the Change link on the directions arrow. There are three directions:

1. Synchronize - New and updated objects are copied both ways. Renames and deletes on either side are repeated on the other.

2. Download New and updated objects on the right are copied to the left. The Remote Database will not be changed.

3. Upload New and updated objects on the left are copied to the right. The Current Database will not be changed.

· Synchronize All Visible Objects

1. If checked, the synchronization will take into consideration all objects from all folders in the system.

2. If not checked, the synchronization will take into consideration only the objects or folders specified in the Objects To Synchronize section.

· Only Objects Owned by Me

1. If checked, the synchronization will take into consideration only objects that are owned the logged in User.

2. If not checked, the synchronization will take into consideration any object, regardless of ownership.

· Propagate Deletions

1. If checked, deletions on one side will be repeated on the other.

2. If not checked, deletions on one side will be ignored.

· Propagate Modifications

1. If checked, modifications on one side will be repeated on the other.

2. If not checked, modifications on one side will be ignored.

· Filter By Modification Time with this option you can restrain the number of the objects checked by synchronization, and so the synchronization time. Possible values for this option:

1. Without Filter no modification time filter will be applied.

2. One Week Old Changes only objects modified in the last week will be synchronized.

3. Two Weeks Old Changes only objects modified in the last two weeks will be synchronized.
