Syncovery Support Forum

Hello everyone,

is there a way to retrieve data from syncovery via the command line?

What I am attempting is to change the left-hand side path by mapping the right-hand side with the corresponding profile name that I have

I know we have the below options:

ADD
RUN
DELETE
CHANGE
RENAME

But, is there any type of GET function?

Best Regards

Hello,
you can use or

Hi Tobias,

Thank you.

Is there a way to set up via CL the Advance Settings? For example Comparison > More tab > Always Copy, even if timestamp unchanged.

Hello,
yes, see the settings dictionary at the end of this page:
https://www.syncovery.com/command-line/

But usually you would just create such a profile using the Syncovery GUI on Windows and take a look at the command line representation on the settings, which is available via the Information tab sheet on the profile dialog box on Windows (or Mac).

On Linux, you could export profiles as XML and see the settings there.

Hi Tobias,

Thank you very much it seems I almost done with what I want to achieve.

I think this might be the last question, is there an option to get all profiles at once using the command line.

Using the INI file works well enough, but actually not sure if its a bad idea to do it this way.

Then checking it was found that 'C:\Program Files\Syncovery\SyncoveryCL.exe' /LIST may work. But we are seeing different behaviors depending of the version that is being used. For example, here we can see the profile name:

1:29:54 PM SyncoveryCL v8.16e
1:29:54 PM Initializing
1:29:54 PM Log folder: C:\ProgramData\Syncovery\Logs
1:29:54 PM Configuration File: C:\ProgramData\Syncovery\Syncovery.ini
1:29:54 PM Licensed to: ****
1:29:54 PM PROFILE LIST
1:29:54 PM ------------
1:29:54 PM PROFILENAME
LEFTPATH --> RIGHTPATH
1:29:54 PM Last Run: 9/17/2020 12:00:01 AM (Nothing to be done)
1:29:54 PM Schedule: Run Daily At Tomorrow, 12:00:00 AM


But here is not displayed:

3:33:02 PM SyncoveryCL v7.98
3:33:02 PM Initializing
LEFTPATH --> RIGHTPATH

Not sure if there is a better way.

Hello,
the best way is to use the command line parameter

/EXPORTALLXML=xmlfilename.xml

Hi Tobias,

Seems like we have the same behavior using this other method when using different versions:

11:07:44 PM SyncoveryCL v7.98
11:07:44 PM Initializing
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Profiles>
<ProgramInfo>
<Name>Syncovery</Name>
<Version>7.98</Version>
<Build>600</Build>
</ProgramInfo>
<Formats>
<Date>M/d/yyyy</Date>
<Time>h:mm:ss AMPM</Time>
<ShortTime>h:mm AMPM</ShortTime>
<DateSeparator>/</DateSeparator>
<TimeSeparator>:</TimeSeparator>
</Formats>
</Profiles>

For v8.16e it does display the profiles names after <Formats> element

<Profiles>
<ProgramInfo>
<Name>Syncovery</Name>
<Version>8.16e</Version>
<Build>137</Build>
</ProgramInfo>
<Formats>
<Date>M/d/yyyy</Date>
<Time>h:mm:ss AMPM</Time>
<ShortTime>h:mm AMPM</ShortTime>
<DateSeparator>/</DateSeparator>
<TimeSeparator>:</TimeSeparator>
</Formats>
<Profile Name="Test">
<General>

Is this expected? Would it be just a missing setting on the application or is an update the only way to overcome this?
