Select either the Automatic or Batch synchronization method, or Disable for no synchronization between the staged schema and the TCA Registry. Synchronization ensures that any new or updated data in the TCA Registry is reflected in the staged schema, and interMedia and B-Tree indexes.

• Automatic: When data is inserted or updated in the TCA Registry through:

  • User interfaces or APIs, the staged schema is immediately synchronized.

  • Bulk Import or Customer Interface, the staged schema is synchronized in a controlled manner, given the potentially large volume of records. A queue is created, and a maximum of 100 records are synchronized at one time.

    See: Bulk Import Overview or Customer Interface.

  Optionally enable search on records with interMedia indexes that are not yet synchronized.

  Caution: Enabling this option can cause decrease in search performance.

• Batch: Schedule the DQM Synchronization program to periodically run. See: DQM Synchronization Program.
