A full Technopedia catalog sync is a synchronization process that downloads the entire catalog instead of the incremental update normally performed during a regular/delta catalog sync. This may be helpful, as updates are sometimes made that do not appear in your catalogs. A full catalog sync will complete the update.

To force a full Technopedia catalog sync, choose the steps for your version of Data Platform.

For versions up to 5.5.78

1. In the BDNA database, run the following SQL:
   

   update BDNA.dbo.TECHNOPEDIA_VERSIONS set PKG_ID=-1 where _src='TECHNOPEDIA';

2. Open the Admin Console application, and navigate to the Technopedia page by selecting the T symbol at the top of the Admin Console UI.
3. Select the START CATALOG SYNC button to begin the synchronization process.

For versions of 5.5.79 or higher

1. Open the Admin Console application, and navigate to the Technopedia page by selecting the T symbol at the top of the Admin Console UI.
2. Select the gear icon to open the Technopedia Catalog Settings.
3. Check the box next to Enable Full Catalog Sync, and then select SAVE AND SYNCHRONIZE to begin the synchronization process.

After running the Technopedia catalog sync, the full catalog will be downloaded and synced with your system.

NOTE: As this is a full catalog sync, it will take longer to complete than a regular/delta catalog sync.
