Data Sync

The Data Sync button in the Reports ribbon group allows users to create, modify or view Data Sync projects for the switch. A data sync project allows the user to maintain a current CAIRS database by downloading data from the switch and verifying that that data is in CAIRS i.e. Ports, DN’s, Button Features, Groups, Set Types etc.

4. Once the list populates, double-click the record to open the General – Switch window.
5. Within the Reports ribbon group, click the Data Sync button.
6. The Data Synchronization pane displays information about existing Data Sync projects. Double – clicking a Data Sync project opens a separate window containing project details.
