Start synchronizationJob
Namespace: microsoft.graph
Important
APIs under the /beta
version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
Start an existing synchronization job. If the job is in a paused state, it continues processing changes from the point where it was paused. If the job is in quarantine, the quarantine status is cleared. Don't create scripts to call the start job continuously while it's running because that can cause the service to stop running. Use the start job only when the job is currently paused or in quarantine.
This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
