Start sync after uploading files to an educationSynchronizationProfile (deprecated)
Namespace: microsoft.graph
Important
APIs under the /beta
version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
Caution
The Education Synchronization Profile API is deprecated and will stop returning data on December 31, 2024. For information about how to migrate to the new Industry Data API, see Transition from School Data Sync (Classic).
Verify the files uploaded to a specific school data synchronization profile in the tenant. If the verification is successful, synchronization starts on the profile. Otherwise, the response contains errors and warnings. If the response contains errors, the synchronization won't start. If the response contains only warnings, synchronization starts.
Note: Use this method only when the data provider is of type educationcsvdataprovider. Also, the profile's state property needs to be provisioned before it can be started. Poll the profile object to check its state property.
This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
