Force a sync?

Force a sync?

I'm in the process of uploading users via totara sync, but am getting errors relating to the csv file. Problem is - each time I make a change to the file I'm having to wait for the next scheduled sync to occur to see if I've got it correct.

Is there a way to push through a sync outside of the 8 hour cycle ours currently runs on?

Hi Lane,

If you are able to upgrade to 2.2.14 we have added a button to the interface to run the sync manually.

Otherwise you can trigger the sync from the server command line by triggering the sync cron directly:

The exact command will depend on your server configuration and permissions but it will be something like this:

sudo -u www-data php [/path/to/webroot]/admin/tool/totara_sync/run_cron.php
