Installation of Synchronization Services
Install AmCmSync on the computer by running the AmCmSync.mis installer.
When prompted to set the service login, enter the Windows login account information for the computer, including the network domain name. If it is a local user (there is no domain name), enter ".\" instead of the domain. As well, enter and confirm the password for the login specified.
If the login credentials provided are not correct, the installation will notify that there is an issue with the information that has been entered. If this occurs, close the installer and restart the installation of the AmCmSync program again.
Once the log in details have been successfully entered, the Synchronization Service will be successfully installed. There will be two new services that run on your machine - "Dot2Dot Ad Manager CM Playback Count Service" and "Dot2Dot Ad Manager CM Publishing Service".
These services are set to manual by default. They can be set to start automatically by going to My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services and selecting each service and changing it to Automatic.
Configuration of Synchronization Services
1 - Go to the Start Menu - All Programs - Dot2Dot Ad Manager CM Synchronization Services - Configure 2 - In the Ad Manager Connection tab, enter your login details for Ad Manager. You can test the login prior to continuing.
3 - If you wish to change the default settings for the synchronization service, this can be done from the Advanced Tab.
On this tab, you can control the level of logging that is recorded as part of the service. The choices (in order from most detailed/verbose to lease detailed) are: - TRACE - DEBUG - INFO - WARNING - ERROR - FATAL
Logs can be viewed by going to Start-All Programs - Dot2Dot Ad Manager CM Synchronization Services - Logs. This will show you a daily list of logs. Please note that logs in this folder are not manually deleted.
You can specify how frequently you want the synchronization service to check for new activity that needs to be published to Content Manager. This is done under "Poll interval".
You can also specify how long to wait before trying to reconnect if a connection to Ad Manager is lost. This can be set under "Recovery interval".
Starting/Stopping the services
If you wish to set the Synchronization Service to run automatically, please see Step 3 of the installation for information on how to change the service to start automatically.
If you wish to manually start or stop both services, you can do this at any time by going to the Start menu - All Programs - Dot2Dot Ad Manager CM Synchronization Services, and selecting "Start "or "Stop" as appropriate. This will start/stop both the synchronization and publishing services.
Advanced Testing
If you wish to undertake advanced testing of the connection, this can be done through a real time view of the logging.
In order to do this, the synchronization service must be stopped prior to proceeding. Once you have stopped the service, you can go to the "Program Files\Dot2Dot\Ad Manager CM Sync Services" folder on your machine and double click "CpDm2Cm".
Once the console has opened, you can go to the Log Level menu and select the type of logging you wish to run. Next, you can go to the Service menu and select which service you wish to start running. The console will display the logging details as they occur.
Once you have finished testing, go to Service - Stop and you can then safely exit the program.
