Automated Synchronization

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.

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

With the button "Apply to all systems" the settings can be applied to all systems listed below. The chosen time is displayed in the "Scheduled" column:

•  = Synchronization was executed with errors
•  = Synchronization was executed successfully 

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

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