Introduction
The Cancel synchronization activity cancels a running synchronization. You can trigger another synchronization later. For more information on the synchronization behavior, see Synchronize.
Properties
There are two sets of properties for this activity, those in the dialog box on the left, and those in the properties pane on the right:
The Cancel synchronization properties pane consists of the following sections:
Action Section
The Action section of the properties pane shows the action associated with this activity. It defines what happens when the Cancel synchronization activity is executed and specifies that the running synchronization process will be cancelled.
Common Section
For more information on properties in this section, see Common Properties.
Limitations
- If the synchronization is in a step that applies file-related changes, it is not canceled to avoid leaving the system in an inconsistent state.
- If the synchronization is already in its final steps, cancellation is not applied because most of the processing is already complete. The process is therefore allowed to finish.
