You can manually trigger a synchronization operation for a specific target App Volumes instance from the source App Volumes instance. With this capability, you can choose to synchronize the source only with the target that requires this operation instead of all the targets registered for this source.

Note: You cannot manually trigger a synchronization operation for a source instance from the target.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the target App Volumes instance is reachable from the source App Volumes instance.

Procedure

  1. Log into the App Volumes Manager admin UI of a source App Volumes instance.
  2. Navigate to INVENTORY > Instances.
  3. In the Related Instances section, select the target instance for which you choose to trigger the synchronization operation.
  4. Click Synchronize.
    Relevant applications and packages from the source App Volumes instance are synchronized to the target instance.

What to do next

  • If you want to monitor the synchronization status, navigate to the Applications summary page or the application detail page on the source App Volumes instance and observe the Synchronization Status information field for the desired application or all relevant applications that are synchronized to the target.
  • If you want to ensure that the right number of relevant applications and packages are synchronized to the target, navigate to the App Volumes Instances page on the source App Volumes instance. In the Related Instance section, observe the Sync Count information field for this target instance.

For more information about these fields, see Monitor App Volumes Synchronization Operations.
