# SyncDatabase

When you train Media Server, your training database is updated with new training data. However, analysis tasks do not use this training data until Media Server has synchronized with the database.

This parameter specifies whether Media Server synchronizes with the database before beginning the analysis task. To ensure that video matching uses the latest training that is available when the `process` action begins, use the default value `TRUE`. Media Server will synchronize the database specified by the Database parameter (or all databases if that parameter is not set).

TIP: Media Server can automatically synchronize with the database at regular intervals (see the ScheduledSync and SyncInterval parameters). However, setting `SyncDatabase=TRUE` ensures that synchronization is complete before analysis starts.

TIP: If you disable automatic synchronization, you can still force Media Server to synchronize with the database by running the action SyncVideoMatchClips.

To start analysis without synchronizing with the latest training, set this parameter to `FALSE`. Synchronizing with the latest training might not be necessary if you have already run the action SyncVideoMatchClips (and waited for it to complete), or if there have been no changes to the training data.
