Unscheduled Updates

If communication links have been broken for some time, databases may have become very out-of-date. Rather than waiting for the next automatic updates to occur, you can update locations immediately.

There are two options:

• Synchronisation, which updates the secondary databases at the current location. This is a one-way process.

• Updating, which updates the secondary databases at the current location, and also transmits the updates from the primary databases at the current location to another location: a two-way operation.

  These options are not available at off-line locations.
