Creating a List of Objects to Download

In Aptify, an administrator can create a list (or multiple lists) of objects to download (or not download) to be used by the command line version of the Object Repository Synchronization Utility. In addition, a user can use this list when running the utility through the wizard, eliminating the need for an administrator to hand pick objects through the Select Objects for Synchronization option (when not selecting all objects) to download each time the utility is run.

Follow the steps below to create a list of objects to download when using the Object Repository Synchronization Utility:

1. Open a new record from the Sync Repository Objects service.
   • The Sync Repository Objects server is located in the Object Repository application.
      
2. On the General tab, enter a name for the collection of objects in the Name field.  
   
   
    
3. Select the Sync Repository Object Files tab.
4. Right-click in the gray area and select New from the pop-up menu.
   • A new Sync Repository Object Files form appears.
      
5. Enter the name of the object to be added to the list of objects in the Object ID field.
6. Clear the Downloadable option if you do not want the object to be downloaded.
   • By default the Downloadable option is selected and the object will be downloaded.
   • If an object is already downloaded in the Object Cache Folder that is specified when running the synchronization utility, selecting the Downloadable option will overwrite the object in the Object Cache Folder.
   • If an object is already downloaded in the Object Cache Folder that is specified when running the synchronization utility, clearing the Downloadable option does not remove the object from the Cache Folder (must be done manually).  
     
     
7. Click OK to save the object file information.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to configure additional object files to include in the synchronization list.
   • Alternatively, you can select the OK and New option in Step 8 to save the current record and open a new Sync Repository Object Files record.  
     
     
9. Save and close the Sync Repository Objects record.

Once the list of objects has been created, an administrator can specify which objects should be updated (not updated) in the Object Cache directory from the latest objects stored in the database's object repository through the command line version of the Object Repository Synchronization Utility. See Automating the Synchronization Process for more details.

An administrator can also specify the list of objects when running the utility through the wizard by selecting the Specify a Sync Repository Objects Record option on the welcome screen. See Running the Object Repository Synchronizer for more details.
