FIle sync

Hello,

could you please help me with novice issue.

I have filesync tasks but I would like to run them just only 1x time and manually.

- If I will select Use device Update Schedule Im not able to modify anything and Its running on some algorithm automatically

- If I will select Use specified File Sync schedule I must select exact date - this is bit confusing

Could you please help me (some screen etc. ) how to create sync task which I run just 1xtime and by manual sync?

Thank you

Hi Jan,

What you need is easy to be achieved.  Just configure all of the following in your file-sync rule:

1. Disable the optiont "Sync Files When Device Connects"

2. Choose the option "Use specified File Sync schedule"

3. Remove the default  "Every 2 hours ... "  and any weekly/periodically" schedule items; and add one one-off schedule item at some very short time period (say 2 or 5 minutes later)

4. Save the file-sync rule, disable it.  Deploy and enable the file-sync rule when the only one-off scheduled time has passed.  

As there is no more valid schedule for the MobiControl server to automatically perform any file-sync operation, file-sync operation will only be carried out when an administrator manually initiate a "file-sync now" action on selected device(s)/device-group(s).
