Synchronize via the API

Use the SiteSync fluent API to invoke sync operations programmatically.

1. Get the base SiteSync facade.
   This requires the following using statement: using Telerik.Sitefinity.SiteSync;

   Then, get the facade: App.WorkWith().SiteSync()

2. Select the target server.

   • If you have only one target, use .SelectDefaultTarget()
   • If you have multiple targets, specify it by calling .SelectTarget("http://targetserver")

3. If you want to sync data from selected sites only, filter by sites:
   .SetSites("site1", "site2", ...)

4. Execute the sync operation:

   • For selected types use .Sync(typeof(NewsItem).FullName, ...)
   • For a specific item and a a specific culture use
     .Sync(newsItem, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)

5. Schedule a sync operation use
   .ScheduleSync(“30 15 5 3 * 2015”, typeof(NewsItem).FullName, …)

   NOTE: Use Cron format to specify the scheduled time. For more information, see Cron Format.

EXAMPLE: The following code is an example that syncs all news items from Site1:

C#

using Telerik.Sitefinity;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.SiteSync;
namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
   public class SyncViaAPI
   {
       public void SyncAllNewsFromSite1()
       {
           App
               .WorkWith()
               .SiteSync()
               .SelectDefaultTarget()
               .SetSites("site1")
               .Sync(typeof(NewsItem).FullName);
       }
   }
}
