Automating data synchronisation with Global Master in Business Central
Global Master lets you keep data synchronised across companies and entities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Instead of running the synchronisation job manually each time, you can set it up to run automatically on a schedule using a job queue entry. This article walks through how to create the job queue entry, adjust its scheduling options, and activate it.
Creating a job queue entry from the Global Master setup
To run the synchronisation job automatically on a schedule, start in the Global Master setup. From the ribbon, select Create Job Queue Entries and confirm by clicking Yes.
Global Master then creates a job queue entry for you and sets it on hold. The entry is placed on hold so the job does not start running before you have had a chance to review and adjust the settings.
Adjusting the scheduling options
To find the new entry, go to Job Queue Entries. You will see the job listed with the status set to on hold. Click Edit to open the entry and change any of the scheduling options.
By default, the job runs every day between 6am and 11pm, and it runs every 15 minutes within that window. You can change these values to match how often you need the data synchronised and during which hours.
Activating the job queue entry
Once you are happy with the settings, you need to change the status from on hold to ready. Go to Process and select Set Status to Ready. The job will now run automatically according to the schedule you defined.
