Best Practices to schedule Sync jobs See: 2080728 - Employee Central: What is HRIS Sync?

  • Full Sync
    • Full Sync job is meant for initial customer go-live or for any massive data change or for any major data discrepancies. It is not advisable to schedule a Full Sync job daily, weekly, quarterly etc. If there are data discrepancies, please raise tickets for support and support can advise if Full Sync needs to be run. In any and all cases, Full Sync should never be scheduled.
  • Delta Recurring Job
    • As we know, the system will kick delta Sync job for every change made via UI, API, Import. Hence we recommend not to schedule delta Sync job on an hourly basis. 
    • Some customers still prefer to schedule an hourly delta sync job depending on their business cases. Product Support/EC Engineering Team See Here
