When performing synchronization, the service details (data, trustee, and so forth) on the target server are compared with the source server and the updated information is migrated to the target server. You can perform synchronization in the following two scenarios:
After a successful migration, you are ready to perform synchronization for any new or modified files or trustee rights.
Launch the Migration Tool on the target server.
Open the migration project for which you need to perform synchronization.
