# Synchronize

The `Synchronize` action instructs the connector to synchronize with the data repository immediately. (Usually you would schedule synchronize cycles to occur on a regular basis, according to a schedule).

The connector searches the repository for new, updated, and deleted documents. FlowFiles containing the information are routed to the "Synchronize Output" relationship of the connector group.

You can also synchronize specific documents by providing a list of document identifiers.

Type: asynchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`ConnectorGroup` | The name of the connector group to send the request to. This must match the name you specified when you configured the ConnectorGroupRouter processor in your dataflow. | Yes
`Documents` | A comma-separated list of identifiers for documents that you want to synchronize. Specify a list of identifiers to synchronize only those documents. When you set this parameter, the documents are ingested (FlowFiles are routed to the "Synchronize Output" relationship) whether the documents have changed or not. | No

## Example

    http://host:10000/action=Synchronize&ConnectorGroup=FileSystem

## Response

This is an asynchronous action, so you receive a token in response to the request. The following XML shows an example response to the QueueInfo action.

    <autnresponse>
        <action>QUEUEINFO</action>
        <response>SUCCESS</response>
        <responsedata>
            <actions>
                <action>
                    <status>Finished</status>
                    <queued_time>2019-Sep-12 15:42:36</queued_time>
                    <time_in_queue>0</time_in_queue>
                    <process_start_time>2019-Sep-12 15:42:36</process_start_time>
                    <time_processing>1</time_processing>
                    <process_end_time>2019-Sep-12 15:42:38</process_end_time>
                    <token>...</token>
                </action>
            </actions>
        </responsedata>
    </autnresponse>

If you set the `documents` action parameter, the response should also contain a `<success>` element for each of the specified documents, containing the document identifier.
