Administrator Guide Part I – How to Synchronize How to Synchronize The provisions to simplify the interface between any ESA and Sync are these: Sync Configuration Wizard This creates a record within Agiloft, specifying synchronization of a unique XS, and all aspects of the syncn. The record is called a "Sync Configuration". ESA Remote Proxy This is an Agiloft program, with parameters set by the Sync Configuration Wizard, which runs a "command-line" ESA in the XS host and communicates between that ESA and Sync. A command-line ESA is one communicating with the XS by STDIO messages, or running in the Agiloft host and communicating with it by STDIO messages. ESA Setting Tab This enables the ESA to establish types of parameter to be held by the Sync Configuration. Table-Structure Mapping Tab This maps Agiloft tables to structures in the XS, or derived from it by the ESA Field Mapping Wizard This is entered for each structure selected in the Table-Structure Mapping Tab, pairs fields in the table with matching fields in the structure, and controls updating both in the XS and in Sync. Manual Sync Menu This appears on the Table toolbar of Agiloft when you browse a table involved in any Sync Configuration, and provides manual triggering of the appropriate sync. As a rule Sync performs automatically. Agiloft Helper API This interface of Agiloft accepts calls from the ESA, of two kinds: o Within a syncn cycle o To initiate a syncn cycle, from a non command-line ESA (see ESA Development - Outline). In addition, Java classes for message handling are available for any ESA that is to be developed in Java. The section "ESA Development" describes ESA development requirements, the extensive re-usable Java classes available, and provides a complete ESA in Java. 483
