Schedule or Run Data Synchronization

To ensure transaction and audit models and controls evaluate current data, run synchronization. It's a process that uploads data from your Oracle Cloud data source. If you set up currency conversion, data synchronization also calculates currency conversions.

You can run a standard synchronization or a graph rebuild. Before you can do either, however, you must synchronize global users at least once. (See Configure Global Users.)

A standard synchronization updates data for business objects used in existing transaction and audit models and controls. It imports records that have been newly added, and updates those that have changed, since the previous synchronization. It has no effect on records that haven't changed.
A graph rebuild recreates the Risk Management graph. This is a mathematical construct that describes relationships between attributes of your setup and transaction records. It's used to accelerate transaction model and control analyses. A graph rebuild recreates the graph from scratch, based on current data in your applications. It doesn't change your models or controls. It doesn't change your incidents, except in the way a standard synchronization would: it updates the status of incidents that refer to application setups or transactions that have changed from the previous synchronization.

A graph rebuild usually takes longer than a standard synchronization, because the latter updates the graph, rather than rebuilding it from scratch. Moreover, a graph rebuild is rarely needed. As a result, it's recommended that you rebuild the graph only when Oracle directs you to do so.

Note: If you run transaction models and controls in a test environment, and you perform a production-to-test update, you must perform a graph rebuild in the test environment.

Select the Advanced Controls Configuration tab in the Setup and Administration work area. In the Advanced Controls Configuration page, a Transaction and Audit Performance Configuration panel displays the date and time of the most recent data synchronization. In this panel, you can select among these options:

Run, to run a standard synchronization once, immediately. A message displays a number; make a note of it.

Check the status of the synchronization job in the Monitor Jobs page: Select the Monitor Jobs tab in the Setup and Administration work area. Review information in the row for the job whose number you noted.
Schedule, to create a schedule on which standard synchronization operations run automatically. Enter values that set the name of the schedule, its start date and time, how regularly synchronization should occur, and an end date (if any). Then click the Schedule button.

To track scheduled synchronization runs, navigate to the Scheduling page: Select the Scheduling tab in the Setup and Administration work area.
Rebuild Graph to perform a graph rebuild.

You have two other options for running the standard synchronization job:

Select the Run Transaction Synchronization quick action from the Risk Management springboard. (Depending on the number of quick actions available to you, you may need to select a Show More option on the springboard.)
Run or schedule the synchronization job from the Scheduling page of the Setup and Administration work area, where it's also listed.
