Synchronize
The Synchronize activity is used to initialize a new system and to activate new features following a software upgrade. It can also be used to update the data in the system such as loading translated strings.
The system uses a number of database tables that must be current for the software version. Some components contain a method that updates the system tables. The Synchronize activity calls and runs these update methods.
Synchronize is typically run directly by the QAD Deployment Tool. You might need to run it for specific updates, such as installing a new language.
Note: If you install a new language, you must synchronize both Translations and Areas, Classes, and Activities.
See the release documentation to determine if you must synchronize after you install a new software version. The synchronization must be performed once only.

Field Descriptions
Selected
Select the areas to synchronize.
Selecting specific areas removes the need to synchronize the entire system, and decreases the synchronization time.
Update Information
When the synchronization is complete, this column displays the update status of the area.
View System Codes
The View System Codes activity lets you view the list of values for fields that are validated using a drop-down list. When an integration is set up with an external system, consult this list to ensure that the data sent over by that system is valid.
