  6. Select Next.

  7. On the Account of the executing user page, enter the login information for the user under which the synchronization is to be carried out. The user must have administrative rights for both servers. The user's name and password must be the same on both servers.

  14. Select Next.

  15. In the Configuration selection dialog, specify how you want to select elements. The Express and User-defined options are available.

    • Express

      In the first step, you can specify which elements are to be synchronized. Then you can specify the synchronization settings for all selected elements in a separate dialog.

    • User-defined

      With the user-defined configuration, the selection of elements and the synchronization settings are displayed in a dialog. You can define the synchronization settings for each element separately. This can lead to circular connections, especially if the synchronization job is executed several times in succession.

      The selection of the elements and the synchronization settings are described on the following pages.

  16. When you have made all the settings, select Finish.

  17. The job is created. The job details are displayed in the Server synchronization module.

You have the following options to change the job settings:

  • If you select Edit job in the menu bar, the complete Create job wizard runs again.
  • If you select one of the fields with the job details, only the dialog in which you can edit the corresponding detail opens.

To copy the job, select Duplicate job and edit the duplicate as needed.
