The system starts the data synchronization task after the task passes the precheck.
Stop a data synchronization task
You can stop a data synchronization task only when it is in the Running state. After a data synchronization task is stopped, the data transmission service stops the scheduling of the synchronization task, and the latency increases in real time.
