Synchronize Data Access Sets
Use the Synchronize Selected Data Access Set scheduled process to synchronize the selected hierarchy members in the data access sets with the hierarchy members in plan inputs.
Use the Synchronize All Data Access Set scheduled process to synchronize all hierarchy members in the data access sets with the hierarchy members in plan inputs.
These two jobs can be submitted from the actions list of the Data Access Set in the Administer Planning Security UI. Synchronize All Data Access Sets can also be submitted from the Scheduled Processes work area.
When to Use
Use the process when you want to synchronize a selected data access set data or synchronize all data access data when there is a member change in a hierarchy or level for the objects-related conditions defined under the data access set. For example, if the data access set condition is based on a category and if new items are added to this category, then you need to run this process to update the data access set with the revised list of items.
