Configuring expanding snapshots
Items outside the initial snapshot range can still be
snapped through expanding snapshots. This can be enabled in the
Expanding Snapshot Properties section by selecting
Inbound, Outbound, or both.
When enabled, the batch job will trigger a queued process upon submission of
the initial snapshot that generates further snapshots in an expanding
manner.
This option can be configured in the Global Exchange Synchronization Options dialog on the Batch Sync Setup tab.
It is configurable only if the Enable periodic invocation of batch sync setup option is enabled. In addition, you can only configure the processing window information if Days in Future, Days in Past, or both are not 0 (that is, if the initial snapshot in not empty).
The expanding snapshot option has the following configurable
parameters:
- Inbound
- Enables or disables inbound snapshots related to batch synchronization functionality, including both initial and expanding snapshots.
- Outbound
- Enables or disables outbound snapshots related to batch synchronization functionality, including both initial and expanding snapshots.
- Past Iterations
- Specifies the maximum number of expanding snapshots to execute in the past; if set to 0, no expanding snapshots will be executed in the past.
- Future Iterations
- Specifies the maximum number of expanding snapshots to execute in the future; if set to 0, no expanding snapshots will be executed in the future.
- Past Multiplier
- Determines the size of the past snapshot window compared to its size in the previous iteration; if set to 0, no expanding snapshots will be executed in the past.
- Future Multiplier
- Determines the size of the future snapshot window compared to its size in the previous iteration; if set to 0, no expanding snapshots will be executed in the future.
- Maximum number of snapshot iterations per minute
- Provides a throttling mechanism for the number of snapshot requests that can be processed per minute.
- Processing window
- Recurrence pattern used to specify the timing of the processing window during which expanding snapshots are executed; if the Weekly field is not enabled, then expanding snapshots will always be processed in-turn after submission. Specify days of the week, start and end times, and the time zone.
