With the AutomationTool you can schedule an automated background SAP synchronization - preferably at night.
Especially when using the Performer Suite (PS) with a central database (SQL Server /Oracle), this has the great advantage that up-to-date data is available to all PS Users without the need for manual SAP synchronization during working hours. 

As of 15.1.0, the AutomationTool (formerly: SyncTool) works with Windows services, so that synchronizations can run even more efficiently in the background.

Automation Tool as an instance between SAP Systems and the Performer Suite

To be able to schedule a synchronization, the "Sync." checkbox must be activated for the respective SAP systems:

Scheduling of Synchronizations

Note

Automatic synchronization in the background can only be performed if the services have been previously installed (learn more).

Synchronizations can either be scheduled for all listed SAP systems or individually.

Scheduling for all Systems

With "Sync now" you can immediately synchronize all SAP systems for which the "Sync." checkbox is activated and credentials are valid (green row):

The gear symbol opens the schedule settings for a single SAP system. After you have confirmed the settings with OK, the selected time is displayed in the "Scheduled" column:

  • red cross = Synchronization was executed with errors

  • green checkmark = Synchronization was executed successfully 

The latest synchronization status is displayed in the "Last Synchronization Status" column:

Two systems with status of last synchronization displayed as successful

The next upcoming synchronization is displayed in the "Next sync." column:

If the SAP synchronization was not successful, we recommend checking the log file.
