Synchronizing a Subscription

Information in this section explains how a subscriber (remote user) can synchronize the subscription database on their local computer with the publication database on the network server. When a subscription database is about to expire, PCS Axis displays a message to notify the subscriber (Figure 16-8).

Important: To avoid data conflicts, it is important to synchronize data between the publisher and each subscriber at frequent intervals. The subscriber must establish a reliable high-speed connection to the publisher to successfully synchronize data.

To synchronize a subscription, follow these steps:

1	Click Tools > Synchronize Now to open the Synchronize Now dialog box. Then click Start (Figure 16-9).
