If you have already installed the 12d Synergy File Replication server, you do not need to complete a full install. Please see Upgrading the 12d Synergy File Replication Server.
1.1. Server Account and Password
A service account is the user account under which the 12d Synergy FRS runs. It should have administrative rights on the computer. A service account must have the Log on as a Service right, but this can be applied after installation and, in some cases, automatically.
1.2. Master Server
You will be prompted for the address and port number of the 12d Synergy Master Server – this should be accessible by the FRS once installed.
1.3. Data Directory
You will be prompted to select a location to store data during installation.
This storage area could become quite large, depending on your usage and needs. It can be migrated at a later date if need be. Note that if you should not use a mapped network drive unless you can guarantee the drive letter will be available when the 12d Synergy Server service starts.
1.4. Required Components
You will need to know if you have a SQL Server database installed and the details to connect to it. If you do not have one installed, 12d Synergy can install one for you.
If you do have a SQL Server you wish to use, you will need to know:
The server address and instance name
The name of the database
1.5. FRS Install File
Before you get started, you will need to create a new File Server entry on your Master Server via the Administrator.
When you have done so, you will be provided with an installation file, which is required for this installation.
You can download the 12d Synergy File Replication Server - Installer executable file (.exe) for a specific version from the 12d Synergy Downloads page. Select the version of the 12d Synergy application from the Looking for a different version? section > Select a version to download list, and then click the 12d Synergy File Replication Server - Installer link to download the .exe file.
