Multiple Synchronisation Server services on same Virtual Machine
Posted: 23 May 07 11:20 PM

My organisation has multiple business units which are progressively getting SalesLogix.
3 of these are currently using SalesLogix and each have their own independent SalesLogix database that are located on a single VM.
Only 1 of these has remote clients and therefore 1 instance of the Synchronisation Server is running on this VM.
Now another business unit is ready to launch SalesLogix but also requires remote databases.
Is it possible to run multiple Synchronisation Server services on the same VM?
We are likely to end up with about 8-10 databases. The majority will have remote users and I don't want to have to invest in a new VM for each of them if it can be avoided.
Thanks

fiogf49gjkf0d Absolutely. It was re-designed several years ago to be used in an ASP (application server) model so it can deal with many different databases. The trick is to ensure you setup the sync service. In the systems tab you will notice you can add 1 or more sync services that point to several different databases. You can then set a schedule for each. When the sync service (windows service) is running it will check the schedule and run as defined for that particular database. |

fiogf49gjkf0d To expand on Mike's posting....
When you set things up in the (WG)Admin, be sure you are pointing to ONE (share) location for ALL sync service jobs.
So when you log into the (WG) Admin on ANY db you will see the sync jobs for ALL db's. This is the test to make sure you have done this correctly.
