How Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop Manages Synchronization Duration

Several factors determine the duration of a synchronization, such as the amount of data that is available to the user, network bandwidth, server performance, client performance, and so on. To shorten this duration, you or the user can do the following:

• You can modify how the synchronization in Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop is configured. For more information, see Customizing Synchronization.
• The user can adjust settings through the synchronization filter dialog box. For more information, see Filters Reduce the Number of Oracle CRM On Demand Records That Are Available in Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop.
• The user can adjust the Record Set tab settings to reduce the number of records to be synchronized.

The duration of an incremental synchronization session is typically shorter than for an initial synchronization because Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop downloads all objects during an initial synchronization. However, during an incremental synchronization, Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop downloads only those objects that are changed.
