51.3.1.1 General

The General section allows to set the parameters to be used during the synchronization process; these parameters are:

Manage a Main/Backup system: It allows multiple ActiveSync to run. One ActiveSync will work as the central server. In contrast, a second one will be the backup server, so if the main doesn't give signals during a user-defined interval, the backup server will become the main to execute operations.

In multiple instances environment, use this option and enable the "Check only the current station" option in each instance to start the ActiveSync instance in the intended mode (Main or Backup).
NB: Etere systems can have one Main and one Backup ActiveSync server at most. For further details on this feature, refer to Main/Backup mode.

Tolerance in seconds before launching the Backup: This parameter allows setting a maximum time (between 30 seconds and 9000 seconds) for the central server to send a heartbeat signal to the backup server. If no heartbeat is received from the central server after the specified time, the backup server will resume the primary role and take charge of the synchronization. Default: 900s

Max number of log files to create: Indicate the maximum number of log files to record the synchronization process activities. As more processing details are logged in the log files, set an approximate value of 24 log files to eliminate memory leakage or impaired performance.

Number of days to delete descriptive files for video (.done): Specify the days to retain the imported files (*.done) in the system. After the days are set, all imported video files with the extension ".done" (e.g. *.done001, *.done002, etc.) will be deleted from the system.
The operation should be done once a day. The default retention period is set to 90 days.

Loop Creation: Specify the delay in minutes between each ActiveSync cycle. 

Once set, Active Sync parameters must be confirmed by clicking on the "Apply and restart" button to update and restart the service.
