Changing the iterative restart period for scheduled Folder Sync synchronization events

Within the duration period that you set for a scheduled Folder Sync synchronization, the Folder Sync task may perform repeat folder synchronization runs. The task begins a repeat synchronization run if a pause period elapses after the task has finished processing the first mailbox. The pause period between the reruns is named the iterative restart period.

By default the iterative restart period is set to 60 minutes. You can change this value if you want. For example, to set a more aggressive policy for folder synchronizations, you can reduce the iterative restart period to, say, 30 minutes.

Note:

Setting the iterative restart period to 0 disables the rerun of the scheduled folder synchronization in the duration period.

To change the iterative restart period you must edit a value in a Folder Sync configuration file.

To change the iterative restart period for scheduled Folder Sync synchronizations

  1. On the Folder Sync server, navigate to the Folder Sync installation folder, typically C:\Program Files\ArchiveTools\ArchiveTools Folder Sync.
  2. Take a backup copy of the file ArchiveAcceleratorSynchService.exe.config and paste it in a suitable location in case you want to revert to it later.
  3. Open ArchiveAcceleratorSynchService.exe.config with a text editor such as Notepad.
  4. Find the setting ScheduleRestartPeriodMinutes.
  5. Change the value of this setting from the default of 60 to the required number of minutes.
  6. Close the file, and save the changes.
  7. Restart the Folder Sync task.
