Product Overview

Section 1.1, “What Is Data Synchronizer?,” on page 9

Section 1.2, “Data Synchronizer System Requirements,” on page 12

1.1 What Is Data Synchronizer?

Novell Data Synchronizer allows personal information management (PIM) data such as e-mail,

appointments, tasks, and contacts to synchronize between enterprise e-mail and collaboration

applications such as Novell GroupWise, other collaboration applications, and mobile devices. It is a

bi-directional and many-to-many synchronization solution that can connect multiple collaboration

applications and mobile devices, providing real-time, event-driven synchronization.

Section 1.1.1, “Data Synchronizer Capabilities,” on page 9

Section 1.1.2, “Data Synchronizer Components,” on page 9

Section 1.1.3, “Data Synchronizer Configurations,” on page 12

1.1.1 Data Synchronizer Capabilities

The Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack installs a Synchronizer system, the GroupWise Connector,

and the Mobility Connector. This configuration is the next generation of mobile device support for

GroupWise users. Many popular device operating systems are supported, including Android, Apple,

Maemo, Palm, Symbian, and Windows Mobile.

After you have created your Synchronizer system by installing the Mobility Pack, you can add

additional connectors to synchronize GroupWise data with other supported applications, as

described in “Connectors” on page 10.

1.1.2 Data Synchronizer Components

A Synchronizer system consists of several components that are installed together on one server

when you install the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack.

Sync Engine

The Synchronizer Sync Engine (

datasync-syncengine

) is a service that provides the hub of data

flow between one or more pairs of application-specific connectors. The Sync Engine provides the

common ground among various applications, so that data provided to the Sync Engine from one

application through its connector can be passed to one or more other applications through their

connectors.

Figure 1-1 Sync Engine with Multiple Connectors

For example, when you install the Mobility Pack, you can synchronize data between GroupWise and

mobile devices. Then, if you also want to synchronize data between GroupWise and SugarCRM,

you add the SugarCRM Connector to your Synchronizer system. All connectors communicate with

each other through the Sync Engine.

Web Administration Service

The Synchronizer Web Administration service (

datasync-webadmin

) provides a Web-based

interface called Synchronizer Web Admin for administration and management of your Synchronizer

system. Synchronizer Web Admin allows you to add and remove connectors, as well add or remove

users for specific connectors and configure their individual synchronization settings.

Users can log in to the Synchronizer Web Admin URL using their personal network login

credentials to access the Data Synchronizer User Options page. Here, they can configure and control

the synchronization settings for their applications. For more information, see the Quick Start (http://

www.novell.com/documentation/datasync_connectors1) for each connector.

Configuration Engine

The Synchronizer Configuration Engine (

datasync-configengine

) is a service that provides

communication between Synchronizer Web Admin and the Sync Engine. The Config Engine passes

configuration information from the Sync Engine to Synchronizer Web Admin for viewing, and it

passes your configuration changes back to the Sync Engine for implementation.

Connector Manager

The Synchronizer Connector Manager (

datasync-connectors

) is a service that provides

communication between the Sync Engine and connectors.

Connectors

Synchronizer Connectors transfer data between two or more applications. Each connector acts as a

code converter and data filter to translate information between an application-specific format and an

application-neutral format that can be consumed by other application-specific connectors. For

example, when you install the Mobility Pack, which includes the GroupWise Connector and the

Mobility Connector, GroupWise content can be synchronized to any mobile device that uses

Microsoft ActiveSync. Or, if you install add the SugarCRM connector to your Synchronizer system,

your GroupWise contact information can be synchronized with the contact information in

SugarCRM.
