Synchronization Form
Synchronization is a way of obtaining the latest version of all objects. You should synchronize before you check in objects. Synchronization will not affect any new objects that you have created, or any objects that you have checked out.
If you select Force, you will get the latest version of all files, regardless of whether they have changed. Only use this option if your environment is not synchronized with the latest version, and consider replacing the whole environment with a new build instead.

A forced resynchronization can take four hours or more. |
If your version control system is set up to include folders in addition to those used for the Application Object Tree (AOT) and the label files, you can select which of these folders you want to synchronize. This is accomplished on the Pick folders form, which opens after you click OK on the Synchronization form.
Synchronization occurs in three stages:
-
The latest files are copied from the version control system to your local repository folder.
-
Files are imported into the AOT.
-
The imported files are compiled.
If errors occur during synchronization, you can examine the events in the Synchronization log: Tools > Development tools > Version control > Inquiries > Synchronization log.
