Step 5: Install Sync2Core

The local Administrator user is required to install Signature Sync2Core Service in Windows Services. The Signature Sync2Core Service monitors web socket event notifications coming from WennSoft Core into WennSoft Signature.

This installer creates the following:

• Windows Scheduled Tasks (for each company selected during the installation below):

  • Sync2Core Full Sync: Typically the Full Sync is run manually in the TimeTrack Data Sync window. See Step 6: Set up and Run TimeTrack Data Sync.
    The Full Sync defaults to disabled as this task should only be used when you:

    • Are syncing data for the first time.

    • Have used any Move utility (Move Equipment, Move Location, or Move Service Call). 

    • Have added a new employee.

    • Have created a new Time App company. See Adding An Additional Time App Company.

  • Sync2Core Incremental Sync: The incremental sync is used to synchronize any changes to the data from the previous synchronization. Do not select this option if this is your first time synchronizing with Time.

• Windows Service (with multi-company support): Signature Sync2Core Service

You will need to have installed Schedule 6.0 or higher to install Sync2Core. See Step 1: Install Latest Schedulein On-Premise Setup Steps.
