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.
