Configuring a Synchronization Target
A Synchronization Target is used to synchronize data between a Content Manager Server and Presentation Server. For Outbound E-mail, a Synchronization Target is used to synchronize e-mail tracking data to compile statistics concerning the status of Mailings. You must specify the Synchronization Target used to keep Contacts and Mailings in that Publication in sync in a Publication Audience Management tab.
Before you begin
About this task
A Synchronization Target specifies a URL to a Synchronization Server where the trackingsync Web page is installed. In a Publication, you need to specify the Synchronization Target that is used to keep Mailings in that Publication in sync.
Synchronization is performed by the Collect Tracking Data service. The Collect tracking data service loops over the active Synchronization Targets that have a URL for Tracking Synchronization Server defined and retrieves all tracking data from the Synchronization Target, including data for Contacts not synchronized to the server.
You can implement Contact Subscription and Tracking on multiple Web sites. To avoid synchronization errors, you must only create a single Synchronization Target for each Tracking database and Subscription database used on the Presentation Server. When Web sites share databases, you assign the same Synchronization Target to the concerned Publications.
