The following steps need to be followed in order to implement this feature.

  • Activate the Object Sync Feature in each instance through the Global Settings page.
  • The details of the other instance must be added to both instances.
  • An encryption key must be generated for each organisation that exchanges data.
  • Securely pass the encryption key to the appropriate organisation.
  • Test the process thoroughly with sample data before using the feature in a production setting.
