Synchronize DW Properties Dialog Box
Use the Synchronize DW Properties dialog box to specify the sites that you want to synchronize by using the Configuration Synchronization DTS task. You can choose to synchronize the Data Warehouse with a single site, or with all the sites. You use this task to import the site configuration data from the Administration database into the Data Warehouse.
Note
You must run the Configuration Synchronization DTS task before you run any DTS tasks that import or delete data.

You cannot cancel this task after it is started. Although you can press Cancel, the task does not stop. |
Note
The Configuration Synchronization DTS task differs from the Synchronize Values button on the Application Properties dialog box. When you click this button, Commerce Server reads the values from the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase to the Administration database, and then from the Administration database to the Data Warehouse.
