SKULK SYNC POINT TIMEOUT

.

SKULK SYNC POINT TIMEOUT controls how long (in seconds) a destination replica will hold off servers which do not understand synchronization points (any version previous to 8.6) while waiting for a server with which it can share an established Synchronization Point before allowing a new synchronization cycle to be initiated. The supported values are:

0 (minimum) and up
10,800 (default, which is 3 hours)
-1 (maximum, meaning no upper limit)

The most likely scenario in which this parameter would come into play would be if the server that established the Synchronization Point was shut down and removed from the system before finishing a given synchronization cycle. In this case, the Synchronization Point will be discarded after the specified timeout has been reached.

Under most circumstances, this parameter will not need to be changed and should not be changed unless the ramifications are fully understood.
