If you have sync workflows configured and run by Quick Connect (predecessor of ), or earlier versions of , then you can transfer those sync workflows to Active Roles and have them run by .
You can transfer sync workflows from the following Quick Connect or versions:
- Quick Connect Sync Engine 5.2.0, 5.3.0, 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.5.0, 6.1.0
- Quick Connect Express for Active Directory 5.3.0, 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.5.0, 5.6.0, or 6.1.0
- Quick Connect for Cloud Services 3.3.0, 3.4.0, 3.5.0, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2, or 3.7.0
- Quick Connect for Base Systems 2.2.0, 2.3.0, or 2.4.0
- 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 7.4.x
is unable to run sync workflows that employ connections to the following systems:
If you need to synchronize data held in these systems, then continue using Quick Connect. This limitation is because not all connectors provided by Quick Connect are included with .
IMPORTANT: Google Postini Services, IBM Lotus Domino, IBM Lotus Notes, Google Apps are removed as the mentioned systems are now end-of-life.
To transfer sync workflows from Quick Connect to
-
Install .
You can install on the computer running Quick Connect or on a different computer. For installation instructions, see Installing Synchronization Service.
-
Configure to use a new database for storing configuration settings and synchronization data.
To perform this step, use the Configuration Wizard that appears when you start the the first time after you install . For more information, see Configuring Synchronization Service.
-
Import configuration settings from Quick Connect or .
Before you proceed with this step, it is highly recommended to disable the scheduled workflows and mapping operations in Quick Connect or earlier versions of . You can resume the scheduled workflows and mapping operations after you complete this step.
To import configuration settings:
-
On the computer where you have installed , start the .
-
In the upper right corner of the Active Roles window, click the gear icon, and then click Import Configuration.
-
In the wizard that appears, select the version of Quick Connect Sync Engine used by your Quick Connect version or Active Roles from which you want to import the configuration settings.
Optionally, you can select the Import sync history check box 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 you want to import 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.
NOTE: Re-entering passwords in the imported connections is required because due to security reasons, the configuration import process does not retrieve encrypted passwords from Quick Connect. To modify the imported connections later, use the . For more information, see External data systems supported with built-in connectors.
-
If your sync workflows involve synchronization of passwords, then you need to install the new version of Capture Agent on your domain controllers. For installation instructions, see Managing Capture Agent.
The new version of Capture Agent replaces the old version. However, as the new version supports both and Quick Connect, you do not lose the password synchronization functions of Quick Connect after you upgrade Capture Agent.
