LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Previewing and running an Xchange Agent

Previewing and running an Xchange Agent

Previewing an Xchange Agent lets you see exactly which folders will be synchronized and which files will be overwritten. It also lets you skip pairs of folders and files and resolve conflicts. Unless you specify otherwise, you preview each agent before you run it. You can run an agent from the Windows desktop, from within LapLink, or you can schedule it to run in your absence.

While previewing an Xchange Agent, you can tell the direction of copy from the arrows.

A special icon appears when both files have been modified since a previous synchronization. You can specify how these “conflicts” are handled.

Previewing

By default, a preview appears whenever you run Xchange Agents. You can also open an agent and preview it.

NOTE By default, only agents that you schedule to run unattended will proceed without a preview. To set up agents to run without a preview, see page 129.

To open and preview an Xchange Agent:

1In LapLink, click Open Xchange Agent on the Sync- Tools menu. (In Xchange Agent, click Open Xchange

Agent on the File menu.) Then click the agent file and click Open.

2 Click the Preview button on the toolbar.

While previewing an agent you can do any of the following:

•Select files or folders to be omitted from the current synchronization only Click a pair and click the Skip Pair button on the toolbar. Skipping a folder skips all the files and subfolders it contains.
