You can synchronize IBM® Connections communities
with IBM Sametime® communities just
once, or set up automatic daily synchronization.
About this task
Integration and synchronization is "one-way": from Connections
to Sametime. Therefore,
users can see their Connections communities in Sametime Advanced, but they
do not see broadcast communities in Connections. These communities
cannot be edited in Sametime Advanced;
they can only be edited in Connections.Synchronization does not
support HTTP redirection. If the Connections server is configured
to redirect from one port to another, for example from HTTP to HTTPS,
then synchronization fails.
You must be an administrator for
both Sametime Advanced
and Connections before you can synchronize the communities. Before
you begin, you must grant a Sametime administrator access
rights to Connections communities in the community.policy file.
See the topic Granting an administrator rights to Connections 4.5 communitiesfor more information. This administrator must also
be a member of the LDAP directory.

it happens daily, select Enable daily community synchronization.
The servers will synchronize daily at 2 AM in the time zone
of the Sametime server.
- If you want to synchronize immediately, click Synchronize
Now.
