Sync name

Name of the synchronization connection.

Sync description

Description of the synchronization connection.

Enabled

• Yes—Connection is enabled when created. When you enable a synchronization, the synchronization begins immediately when it is created. After that, the synchronization runs using the schedule you define.
• No—Connection is not enabled when created.

Note: If a synchronization is disabled, you can start the synchronization manually by clicking Sync Now on the Sync Connections tab of the CIS Synchronization Adapter page.

Number of transactions per message

Number of transactions in a message.

The number of transactions per message is the number of transactions per operation, including the sending and receiving of transactions between InForm Adapters and Clintrial Adapters. In general, the more transactions per message, the faster the synchronization completes because fewer requests are made to the adapters. However, when typing a value for this option, you should consider that all transactions in each operation are in memory. Therefore, if you have a number of synchronizations running, a high number of transactions per operation could result in a greater demand on memory.

Oracle recommends that you accept the default value of 500 for this option. A lower value might slow down a synchronization.

New mappings

Specifies how the synchronization connection processes new mapping definitions:

• Assume no pre-existing data—If mapping definitions for data items for which no mappings originally existed are synchronize later, the CIS software continues to ignore the previously unmapped data. For those data items, the CIS software processes only data that arrives subsequent to the mapping definitions.
• Replay sync to gather pre-existing data—When a new mapping definition arrives, the CIS software replays all transactions that contain the control path in the new mapping. If the CIS software finds any new mappings, it inserts the data in the appropriate Clintrial database column.
• Stop sync for intervention—When a new mapping definition arrives, the CIS software stops the message queue and waits for a manual intervention.

Auto-create study books

• Yes—CIS creates study books for the Clintrial protocol, including page templates and page sections, by using the study component definitions synchronized from InForm software.
• No—CIS does not create study books for the Clintrial protocol.

For more information, see Autocreating Clintrial study books.

Create panels and items

• Yes (default)—CIS creates or modifies Clintrial panels and items as defined in the mappings.
• No—CIS does not create or modify Clintrial panels and items.

For more information, see Autocreating Clintrial panels and items.

Schedule type

Type and definition of the schedule on which synchronization runs for this synchronization connection:

• None—The synchronization connection does not use a schedule.

  Note: If you do not define a schedule, you must manually run synchronization on the synchronization connection. For more information, see Starting a synchronization manually.

• Named—The synchronization connection uses the schedule selected from the drop-down list.
• Custom—The synchronization connection uses the custom schedule defined in the Days, Start time (UTC), End Time (UTC), and Run every fields.

Days

Days of the week to which the custom schedule applies. Select each day on which to run synchronization.

Start time (UTC)

Time for synchronization to begin running. Specify the time in hours and minutes.

End time (UTC)

Time for synchronization to stop. Specify the time in hours and minutes.

Run every

Interval on which to start synchronization within the specified Start time (UTC) and End time (UTC). For example, if you have a Start Time of 1:00 and an interval of 5 Minutes, the scheduled synchronization begins at 1:00, 1:05, 1:10, and so on.

Type a number, and select Hours or Minutes.
