Specifies options for synchronization and displays read-only database information for the selected model.
The time required for synchronization depends on the selected options.
Synchronize model with catalog
Indicates that you want to synchronize the model with the catalog.
In a global workshare configuration, you can turn this option off and only regenerate
the views.
Mark out-of-date occurrences
Scans the model database and marks all objects that are out-of-date with the catalog. In workshare configurations, this option is unavailable when the selected model is a satellite. This option is available when Synchronize model with catalog is selected.
Update out-of-date occurrences
Updates all model objects that are out-of-date with the catalog. In workshare configurations, this option is available for both host and satellite locations. This option is available when Synchronize model with catalog is selected.
Host and satellite locations can run Synchronize model with catalog at the same time using this option to reduce the overall time to update the model. You can also interrupt (cancel) the process and then continue at another time. This capability allows you to process a large job during multiple sessions.
Regenerate views
Indicates that you want to regenerate the database views. A view is a subset of the database that is generated from a query and stored as a virtual table. Because the view does not contain data, the software retrieves data from the database when you access the view.
You can regenerate views without synchronizing the model.
Model database server
Displays the model database server name.
Model database name
Displays the model database name.
Version
Displays the software version of the database.
Catalog database server
Displays the catalog database server name.
Catalog database name
Displays the catalog database name.
Catalog schema server
Displays the catalog schema server name.
Catalog schema name

Run
Starts the synchronization process. When processing completes, the software displays a summary of the synchronization statistics in a separate window. See Synchronize Summary Window.
The software also saves the details of the synchronize process in a separate log file (SynchronizeModelWithCatalogError.log).
