Level-2 Conflicts for Skipped Appointment Sync Explained

Issue

Exchange appointment items are skipped due to a "Level-2 conflict".

Explanation

This is a normal condition. Riva reports "Level-2 conflicts" when the following conditions are met:

• An appointment is changed in both Exchange and the CRM.
• The appointment change in Exchange is more recent than in the CRM.
• Riva tries to synchronize (sync) the less recent change from the CRM appointment to the Exchange appointment.

Results

In that situation, Riva determines that the Exchange item is more recent and skips the update from CRM to Exchange. Riva syncs the update from Exchange to the CRM for that item during the next sync poll.

Possible Related Issue

The following Level-2 conflict message may also appear in the logs:

Cause

This error occurs when Riva has previously synced the specific item to the CRM and already has a CRM ID attached to it; however, the CRM ID is not found in the expected field in Exchange when Riva tries to sync the update.
 

Possible Solution

To allow items with existing CRM IDs to be created in the CRM:

1. Apply the following advanced option at the user level:

   Sync.Crm.AllowCreatesOnItemsWithCrmIdPluginField = true

2. Sync, and disable the policy after one sync cycle.

3. Verify that the items have been created in the CRM.

4. If they have been created, remove the advanced option from the user-level, and resume syncing.
