Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Update 1
6.2 Sync Engine Restart Stops All Connectors
When the Sync Engine is stopped or restarted, it forces all connectors to stop. After the Sync Engine
is restarted, restart the Connector Manager service. After the Connector Manager service is
restarted, restart each connector in Synchronizer Web Admin or configure the connectors to start
automatically.
6.3 Users and Groups Not Displayed Correctly in Synchronizer
Web Admin
When you add or delete a large number of users or groups, the Manage Users page or the Manage
Groups page might not correctly display the presence or absence of the users or groups. Refresh the
page in your browser to correctly display the users or groups.
6.4 Synchronizer Web Admin Responsiveness
After you add a large number of users to the GroupWise Connector, the responsiveness of
Synchronizer Web Admin might diminish each time you restart the GroupWise Connector. For
example, it might take longer to log in to Synchronizer Web Admin or you might not be able to
navigate easily between pages while the GroupWise Connector is starting. This occurs because the
GroupWise Connector verifies all of the users each time it starts. After the user verification process
is completed, Synchronizer Web Admin behaves normally.
6.5 Usernames with Spaces
If a user’s LDAP username includes a space, the user cannot log in to the Data Synchronizer User
Options page.
6.6 Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility
If you use Synchronizer Web Admin on Internet Explorer 8, you must enable Compatibility View in
order to display the Sync Engine Advanced options on the Engine Settings page.

Even with Compatibility View enabled, the Maintenance section on the Engine Settings page
sometimes disappears when you mouse over it. However, with persistent mousing, it is still possible
to click
Clear Cache
.
6.7 GroupWise Mobile Server Compatibility
Novell Data Synchronizer is the replacement for GroupWise Mobile Server (GMS). These two
synchronization solutions can coexist successfully, as long as users are transitioned from GMS to
Synchronizer in a timely manner. An issue with GMS can cause a user whose mobile device is
configured to use both synchronization solutions to occasionally receive a large quantity of
extraneous items. As you add users to Synchronizer, you should delete them from GMS. You can
continue to run GMS indefinitely to support users with older mobile devices that are not supported
by Synchronizer.
