There are dbmlsync event hooks that you can implement to control when synchronization occurs.

With the sp_hook_dbmlsync_end hook, you can use the Restart row in the #hook_dict table to decide at the end of each synchronization if dbmlsync should repeat the synchronization.

For more information, see sp_hook_dbmlsync_end.

With the sp_hook_dbmlsync_delay hook you can create a delay at the beginning of each synchronization that allows you to choose the time to proceed with synchronization. With this hook it is possible to delay for a fixed amount of time or to poll periodically, waiting for some condition to be satisfied.

For more information, see sp_hook_dbmlsync_delay.

This method is not available when the Dbmlsync API or the SQL SYNCHRONIZE statement is used.
