Synchronisers are in charge of cube synchronisation tasks:

  • "SyncTP": scheduled tasks. These are mainly tasks relating to the scheduling of refreshes. They also include Flow synchronisation tasks for users other than the logged-in user.
  • "CopyTP": tasks for sending exports to their destination (devices: file server, email, SMS, etc).
  • "ExportTP": conversion tasks into the format requested for the export. For example, when a user exports a graphic as a PDF.
