Setting up Internet synchronization

The Internet synchronization set up requires a computer with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) v 5.0.2 or higher and ASP.NET (if using Windows 2003) installed. The IIS computer should be located outside the firewall.

The SyncConfigFile.xml file, found in the ActInternetSync directory, needs to be modified for the specific main database and database machine.

To set up Internet synchronization on the IIS machine

  1. Browse to the location of the ActInternetSync directory and double-click the SyncConfigFile.xml file to open it.

  2. In the DATABASE NAME field, delete “MYDATABASE” and type the specific database name. Be sure to enclose the name in double quotes.

  3. In the MACHINE field, delete “Machine1” and type the specific machine name of the computer hosting the main database. Be sure to enclose the name in double quotes.

  4. Save the changes and close the file.

  5. Stop and restart the IIS service.
