Is there a way to run a DOLS synchronization - on demand? I want the user to run a sync from my offline application without clicking the “Start Sync” button in the Sync Manager".i.e. can you possibly run ndolsync.exe with parameters for the subscription, or trigger the sync somehow?
Thanks
Subject: The DOLS Web Control provides a “Start Syncrhonizaton” menu item
DOLS synchronization is executed by the Sync Manager, since this program manages the subscription information (database(s), server, Notes ID info) installed offline. The DOLS Web control provides a “Start Synchronization” menu item which effectively remote controls the Sync Manager to start a synchronization task for the application subscription.
Is this not a sufficient interface? Do you want to run the sync from the application UI or from a OS command line interfface?

I’ve said before that DOLS is the best-kept secret of Domino. Offline XPages support would be phenomenal.
The API/UI side of things is likely where Google is going to leapfrog IBM/Lotus in the future. Check out the different ways you can programatically access sync commands with Google Gears – that’s what we need.
