How to Force a Quick Sync of Missing Fields in the Synced Entities

Problem

You've already set up your sync, and it's running, but you've realized that some fields are missing in synced issues. Your synchronization includes thousands of issues from within different projects, and it takes quite some time to sync once again.

Cause

The Outgoing sync does not have rules for the missing fields.

Solution

1. Add the script for the missing fields into the Outgoing script on the Source instance
   Important: If your outgoing script was already including the field, you will need to add something new to the replica so Exalate detects that there is something new to sync. For example:

   //....
   replica.customKeys.foo = new java.util.Date()If you have an error on the Destination instance, update your incoming script there, so it returns if the field is missing. After updating the script, resolve the error.
   
   //In this example we are missing a custom field Country.
   // First instruction on your script:
   if(replica.customFields.Country == null) return; //Sync will be ignored if the customFields country is not received
   // Rest of your incoming script

2. Add the missing field's script to the Incoming script.
3. Run to sync all the fields you have just added to the existing trigger.
