Synchronization Properties

To view or edit a synchronization's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Synchronization Property Sheet Action Tab

The Action tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Action (text box)

Specifies an action to be evaluated to determine how the synchronization should be traversed. You can enter any appropriate information in this box, as well as open, insert and save text files.

Timeout

Specifies the timeout limit. The default value is zero. When the value is not set to zero, it means that a timeout exception occurs if the execution of the activation takes more than the specified timeout limit. You can type any alphanumeric value in the Timeout box (Example: 20 seconds).
