How-to: Activating and deactivating solutions for Exact Lightweight Integration Server (ELIS)

Introduction

Exact Lightweight Integration Server (ELIS) supports the installation of different types of solutions for data synchronization. To ensure the synchronization works in a particular solution, the solution must be registered and activated. The solution can be deactivated if synchronization is no longer required.

Scope

This document describes the following:

Activating solutions
Deactivating solutions

Prerequisites

ELIS management console
Endpoint installed (Exact Synergy Enterprise or Exact Globe Next)
Solution installed

Activating solutions

To activate a solution, do the following:

Select a solution under Solutions on the left panel in the Exact Lightweight Integration Server Management Console screen. The following screen will be displayed:
Click Add. The following screen will be displayed:
Select the client(s) to be activated, and then click Next. The following screen will be displayed:
Define the fields, select the Activate now check box, and then click Save. The added solution will be displayed in the main screen if the activation is successful.
Note: If the user's password has been changed for the Exact services, you have to delete and create the configurations so that the new password will be active for the configurations.

Note: The other method to deactivate the solution is through the Configuration screen.

To check whether the activation is successful, manipulate the data on the client endpoint and check whether the synchronization is working. For example, if Exact Integrator is linked to the Exact Synergy Enterprise and Exact Globe Next client endpoints, modifying the data in one of the products will affect the other product.
