Difference between Catalog syncronization and Syncronize Action

[Former Member]

Can anyone tell me the difference between this syncronizations? Looks like the same cronjob is triggered but Syncronize Action takes much longer

Synchronization takes more time than Catalog synchronization because Synchronization performs full synchronization while Catalog synchronization synchronizes only the updated items.

A sample run of sync apparelProductCatalog:Staged->Online:

Did you execute "Synchronization" first and "Catalog synchronization" second? It could mean that "Synchronize" synced to target catalog first, which is why it might have taken a longer time to finish. When you did the "Catalog synchronization" as the second step, there may be nothing to sync, since it was already synced.

I don't see the 2 buttons on my local backoffice. So, I can't test it, unfortunately.

It doesn't matter in which order you run them; Synchronization synchronizes the full catalog version and Catalog synchronization synchronizes only the updated items after the last synchronization.
