Running, modifying, and deleting synchronization packages

After you have created a synchronization package, you must run it in order to import or update the data you want to synchronize. If the data source specified in a synchronization package is updated frequently, you'll want to run that package regularly to keep the information in the destination asset up to date. You can schedule a synchronization package to run according to a given schedule that you define. See "Run a synchronization package" under "LANDesk Service Management actions" in the Designer's guide.

For an overview of the synchronization process, see Synchronizing asset data.
