synchronize

public void synchronize(int action,
                        int interval)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Updates metadata with the current properties; may create metadata if it doesn't already exist.

Description

The Synchronize method is used to extract metadata properties from an object and write those properties to the metadata .xml. Depending on the value of the esriMetaSyncAction, the Synchronize method may generate a new set of metadata if it doesn't already exist.

Remarks

The following actions will result in synchronization given each of the listed conditions:

Action	Metadata status	Esri/Sync element	Interval parameter
esriMSAAccessed	Doesn't matter	Must not be FALSE	Must be less than actual interval
esriMSAAlways	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter
esriMSACreated	Must not exist	Must not be FALSE	Must be less than actual interval
esriMSANotCreated	Must exist	Must not be FALSE	Must be less than actual interval
esriMSAOverwrite	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter

The difference between esriMSAAlways and esriMSAOverwrite lies in which elements are synchronized. esriMSAAlways will honor the removal or value change of an element's Sync attribute (to disable synchronization), whereas using esriMSAOverwrite is equivalent to setting the IXmlPropertySet2.OverwriteSyncAttribute to true for the metadata's property set, meaning that even elements without a Sync attribute of TRUE will be synchronized.
