Configuring a Synchronization Target
A Synchronization Target is used to synchronize data between a Content Manager Server and Presentation Server. For Audience Manager, a Synchronization Target is used to synchronize Contacts and Segments. 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
To create a Synchronization Target you must have Tridion System Administration privileges.
About this task
A Synchronization Target specifies a URL to a Synchronization Server where the profilesync Web page is installed. In a Publication, you need to specify the Synchronization Target that is used to keep Contacts and Segments in that Publication in sync.
Contact Synchronization is performed by the Synchronization service. The service loops over the active Synchronization Targets that have a URL for Contact Synchronization Server defined and, for each server, synchronizes the Segments and the new/changed/deleted Contacts
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.
