Enable a Scheduled Data Sync
----------------------------

By default, when a Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unity Connection
device is set up in VOSS-4-UC, a full data sync instance is created to perform the
initial sync of all data from the device. A Change Notification Sync type also
gets created in the Data Sync page. In addition, a Schedule is created to execute
that data sync every 14 days, but is disabled by default. We recommend running the
full data sync manually only when necessary. However, if a regularly scheduled
sync is desired, the schedule can be enabled as follows:



**Perform these steps**:

1. Log in as provider administrator.
#. On the **Scheduling** form (default menu **Administration Tools > Scheduling**)
   choose the schedule instance that matches this naming convention:

   HcsSync-<ip_address>-<device_name>-SCHED. For example:

   HcsSync-192.0.2.24-CUCM01-SCHED
#. Select the **Active** check box.
#. Click the **Multiple Executions** tab, and update the interval, if desired.
#. Click **Save**.

The full data sync executes immediately, and executes again according to
the schedule.
