Sync configuration

Configuration for the Elements.cloud -> M-Files object synchronization. Self-contained (object types / classes / property defs live here) so the Sync project has no dependency on the VAF project, avoiding a circular reference.

Reached from Elements synchronization on Main configuration.

Settings

Enabled

Type
Yes or no
Default
False

Master switch for the recurring object sync.

Sync schedule

Type
Schedule

When the object sync runs. With no triggers configured it does not run automatically (it will not start on application startup).

Settings in this group — 5 of them

Minimum request interval (ms)

Type
Whole number
Default
0

Lower bound on the time between Elements API requests. Leave at 0 unless your tenant has a known rate limit - the sync detects rate limiting (HTTP 429) and slows itself down automatically, then speeds back up. This is a floor it will not go below, not a fixed delay added to every call.

Maximum retry wait (minutes)

Type
Whole number
Default
20

Total time one sync run may spend waiting on Elements - rate-limit back-off, retries and pacing combined. When the budget is used up the run stops early and reports it; the next run resumes the sections it did not finish, so nothing is lost. Set to 0 to remove the budget (not recommended - a run could then wait indefinitely on a background thread).

Reconcile enabled

Type
Yes or no
Default
False

Enables the separate background operation that removes objects no longer present in Elements (using the configured deletion strategy).

Reconcile schedule

Type
Schedule

When the reconcile (deletion) operation runs - typically less frequent than the sync. With no triggers configured it does not run automatically.
