Sync Engine with Multiple Connectors
For example, when you install the Mobility Pack, you can synchronize data between GroupWise and
mobile devices. Then, if you also want to synchronize data between GroupWise and SugarCRM,
you add the SugarCRM Connector to your Synchronizer system. All connectors communicate with
each other through the Sync Engine.
Web Administration Service
The Synchronizer Web Administration service (
datasync-webadmin
) provides a Web-based
interface called Synchronizer Web Admin for administration and management of your Synchronizer
system. Synchronizer Web Admin allows you to add and remove connectors, as well add or remove
users for specific connectors and configure their individual synchronization settings.
Users can log in to the Synchronizer Web Admin URL using their personal network login
credentials to access the
Data Synchronizer User Options page. Here, they can configure and control
the synchronization settings for their applications. For more information, see the Quick Start (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/datasync_connectors1) for each connector.
Configuration Engine
The Synchronizer Configuration Engine (
datasync-configengine
) is a service that provides
communication between Synchronizer Web Admin and the Sync Engine. The Config Engine passes
configuration information from the Sync Engine to Synchronizer Web Admin for viewing, and it
passes your configuration changes back to the Sync Engine for implementation.
Connector Manager
The Synchronizer Connector Manager (
datasync-connectors
) is a service that provides
communication between the Sync Engine and connectors.
Connectors
Synchronizer Connectors transfer data between two or more applications. Each connector acts as a
code converter and data filter to translate information between an application-specific format and an
application-neutral format that can be consumed by other application-specific connectors. For
example, when you install the Mobility Pack, which includes the GroupWise Connector and the
Mobility Connector, GroupWise content can be synchronized to any mobile device that uses
Microsoft ActiveSync. Or, if you install add the SugarCRM connector to your Synchronizer system,
your GroupWise contact information can be synchronized with the contact information in
SugarCRM.
