To upgrade Synchronization Service
- Install Synchronization Service on the computer running Quick Connect or on a different host.
- Configure Synchronization Service to use a new database for storing configuration settings and synchronization data. To perform this step, use the Configuration Wizard that appears when the Synchronization Service Administration Console starts for the first time after installation.
- Import configuration settings from Quick Connect to Synchronization Service.
NOTE: Before proceeding with this step, it is highly recommended to disable the scheduled workflows and mapping operations in Quick Connect. The scheduled workflows and mapping operations may be started after this step is completed.
- On the computer where the Synchronization Service is installed, start the Synchronization Service Administration Console.
- In the upper right corner of the Administration Console window, click the gear icon, and then click Import Configuration.
- In the wizard that appears, select the correct version of Quick Connect Sync Engine from which to import the configuration settings. Optionally, the Import sync history check box may be selected to import the sync history along with the configuration settings.
- Follow the steps in the wizard to complete the import operation. If the synchronization data to be imported is stored separately from the configuration settings, then, on the Specify source SQL Server databases step, select the Import sync data from the specified database check box, and specify the database.
- Retype access passwords in the connections that were imported from Quick Connect.
This is required due to security reasons. The import of configuration settings does not retrieve the encrypted passwords from Quick Connect. Use the Synchronization Service Administration Console to make changes to each connection as appropriate, depending upon the data system to which the connection applies.
To import configuration settings:
- If the synchronization workflows involve synchronization of passwords, install the new version of Capture Agent on the domain controllers.
The new version of Capture Agent replaces the old version. However, as the new version supports both Synchronization Service and Quick Connect, the password synchronization functions of Quick Connect will not be lost after the Capture Agent is updated.
