Synchronize the integration software level using a remote command

Entering the command lvlsync at an integrated Windows server console command prompt will cause the integrated server to synchronize. The principle utility of this command-line program is that it allows you to synchronize an integrated server by remotely submitting a command. This functionality would be useful if you, for example, wanted to write a CL program to periodically synchronize your integrated servers. To learn more about remotely submitted commands, see Run integrated Windows server commands remotely.

Here is a simple procedure to remotely synchronize an integrated server by remotely submitting the lvlsync command from the i5/OS™ console.

  1. At the i5/OS character-based interface, type SBMNWSCMD and press F4.
  2. Enter lvlsync in the Command field and press Tab.
  3. Enter the NWSD name of your integrated server in the Server field and press enter.

The lvlsync program allowed optional parameters in the past. These parameters no longer function, although their presence in the command will not affect its functionality.

Lvlsync returns the following error codes:
