# Update synchronization job

To update a synchronization job, all you have to do is specify the properties that have changed. The properties that are not specified are then kept without changes.

Please note

The target system (syncTargetSystem) and the synchronization direction (syncDirection) cannot be changed once a job has been created!

If you want to change the target system or the job type/synchronization direction, you have to create a new job and delete the existing one.

When requesting to change a synchronization job, the ID of the job must be specified both in the path and in the body under syncJobId.

The following example shows how the name of a synchronization job is changed:

PUT /odata/syncjobs(<syncjobid>)?repository=repo1
Content-Type: application/json
Header: Authorization: <bearer_token>
{
    "name":"New Syncjobname",
    "syncJobId":<syncjobid>
}
