Run Remote office sync client as service Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is it possible to set up the remote office sync client as a service? Or some other way that will allow the office to sync without user intervention and without explicitly starting the sync client? Thanks

Yes, but the steps vary depending on what version of SalesLogix you are running.

What version of SalesLogix are you running?

Here is a recent thread on this subject.

Did you review the instruction in Chapter 19 "Configuring a Remote Office" in the Sage CRM SalesLogix Implementation Guide v7.0?

I just took a look.. didn't see anything about running sync client as a service..

Is this valid in V.7:

Use a Sync cmd file with Windows Task Scheduler and a custom command line.

Create file with notepad with the following content:
start /D"C:\Program Files\SalesLogix" /B /HIGH SyncClient.exe /b"SalesLogix" /c /r /a /x

Save the file as Sync.cmd

Log on to the machine as the network user to create a Windows Task
Create the task to call the Sync.cmd file.

Log on to the machine as the network user to create a Windows Task
Create the task to call the Sync.cmd file.

> I am gathering from the post you pointed me that I need to change "SalesLogix" in "SLX_REMOTE" (my connection)... is that correct?

Thanks

Yes it should work.

Replace "SalesLogix" with whatever you select for a database alias in the when you run the SyncClient.exe.

BTW, the SalesLogix.exe and Admin.exe also accept switches

/b "DBAlias"
/n "Username
/p "Password"
/nosplash

Likewise the SyncServer.exe and Architect.exe accept the switches, too.

If that fails - just use:

C:\Program Files\SalesLogix\SyncClient.exe /b"SalesLogix" /c /r /a /x

(the Start & High pieces are good if you have a very active server - but RJ Ledger reported that this would create a dialog prompt, which you obviously don't want, when using the original cmd line I put together)
