Configures a data synchronization task.

Before you call this operation, you must call the CreateSynchronizationJob operation to create a data synchronization instance.

Note
  • After you call this operation to configure a data synchronization task, the task will be automatically started and prechecked. You do not need to call the StartSynchronizationJob operation to start the task.
  • A data synchronization task may fail to be started due to precheck failures. You can call the DescribeSynchronizationJobStatus operation to query the status of the task. Then, you can change parameter settings based on the error messages about the precheck failures. After you fix the issue, you must call the StartSynchronizationJob operation to restart the data synchronization task.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer automatically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
