Creating Servers
A GoldSync Server
A computer that handles the synchronization processes. is any computer handling the synchronization processes. It can be any computer on the network running a network copy of GoldMine.
For example, your main GoldMine Server might not have a modem. Rather than installing a modem, assign another computer on the network that does have a modem as the GoldSync Server. Each GoldSync Server assumes the computer name as the server name.
You can designate more than one computer on your network as a GoldSync Server. Have one server for IP/Network synchronization and one for e-mail synchronization.
NOTE: The GoldSync Server computers must have proper resources for the processes they are running.
TIP: Because GoldSync is resource-intensive, we recommend dedicating a server to executing GoldSync processes, especially when many users are synchronizing throughout the day. Creating transfers for multiple users and managing multiple connections uses a significant amount of the system's memory, processor, and hard disk capacity.
