Options

• con_id—Connection ID assigned to the source/target connection
• SYNC—Synchronizes any data that is different
• NEWER—Synchronizes only those files that are newer on the source than on the target
• NOSYNC—Do not synchronize any data that is different

• NOCHECKSUM—Does not perform a checksum comparison when comparing and/or synchronizing files
• STARTTIME—Starts the verification process at the time specified
• mm/dd/yy—Date in month/day/year format when the verification process will begin
• hh:mm—Time in hour:minute format using the 24-hour clock when the verification process will begin
• EVERY—Repeat the verification process at the frequency specified
• number—Length of time to repeat the verification process
• time_units—Minutes (min), hours (hr), or days (day)
• ORPHANS—Moves or deletes orphan files on the target
• NOORPHANS—Does not move or delete orphan files on the target
• CLEARRESTOREREQUIRED—Clears the restore required flag and initiates the verification
