   Note: The first Full Synchronization may take a while to complete.

   If needed you may create or edit the existing job. To create or edit and run a customized data push job, see (Optional) Push CI Data from UCMDB to APM.

   For instructions about scheduling the data push job, see Schedule Data Push Jobs.
