The applicationSynchronize Method

Synchronizing an existing application, whether in order to fix a problem or to reset an installation. This process is asynchronous, meaning the initial request will start the synchronize process and the initial response will show information about the application being synchronized. However, the synchronize process will proceed after the response is returned. You must continue checking the application status using the applicationGetStatus method until the process is complete.
