Scheduling Syncs¶
When scheduling syncs, avoid too many overlapping syncs at a given time. VOSS Automate already blocks multiple syncs against a given device.
The best practice is to not have more than 5 syncs running at a given time.
To avoid load and issues with concurrency, schedule syncs carefully and at intervals when they are really required. For example, do not run nightly syncs unless it is necessary. Since syncs generally cover the case where information is changed on the UC apps outside VOSS Automate, the level of third party integration or direct configuration tasks should play a role in the decision to schedule. For details, refer to the topics on Cisco Unified CM, CUC and LDAP below.
Since it is possible to limit the number of records processed with a given sync, more predictability can be obtained with scheduling.
