Google Apps Directory Sync Administration Guide - Manual (Page 136)

136 Release 4.0.2
sync-cmd
Run without any arguments, this command gives an error and directs you to run
sync-cmd -h for help.
To synchronize, use the following command line to read a configuration file, check
to be sure that a sync is not already running, connect to both servers, generate a
list of changes, and apply those changes:
sync-cmd -a -o -c [filename]
Replace [filename] with the name of the XML file you created in the
Configuration Manager.
Synchronization options
The table below describes the possible arguments to the sync-cmd command. You
can also see this information by running the following:
sync-cmd -h
in the directory where GADS is installed.
Option Values
-o,--oneinstance Restrict to one instance per config file. Only
valid with -a.
-r,--report-out Write reports to the specified output file, in
addition to writing them to the log.
-a,--apply Apply detected changes.
Note: If you do not use this tag, the
synchronization is a test only and will not affect
your Google Apps account. For best results,
run a test without this flag before running a full
synchronization with this flag.
-V Display detailed application version
information. Does not synchronize.
-c,--config [filename] Specify the configuration to load.
Synchronization will not occur without a valid
XML file for this argument.
-d, --deletelimits Ignores any configured delete limits.
-f, --flush For support troubleshooting only (slows sync)
WARNING: This option is intended only to
resolve specific troubleshooting issues.
