SYNCRT.EXE

Description of the Sync runtime executable

The Sync runtime executable is a deployable runtime executable that causes synchronization to occur. When the executable runs, it executes the instructions in a Sync data file and displays a status screen that indicates that file transfer is occurring. When the synchronization process is complete, the status screen closes.

Running the Sync runtime executable

You can run the Sync runtime executable directly in either of two ways:

• Passing to SYNCRT.EXE a command-line argument with one synchronization instruction
• Associating with SYNCRT.EXE a Sync data file that contains synchronization instructions

Another way to pass a command-line argument or associate a data file with an EXE is to create a shortcut on your desktop.

• To run SYNCRT.EXE by passing a command-line argument:
• Go to the command-line.
• Enter a synchronization command that runs SYNCRT.EXE and specifies source file and destination file.

C:\SYNC\SYNCRT.EXE /SRC \\PB\SOURCE\PB050.EXE /DEST C:\PROGRAM FILES\PB050.EXE

• To run SYNCRT.EXE by associating a Sync data file:

1. Create the Sync data file that specifies the synchronization instructions you want to perform.
2. Go to the command-line.
3. Enter a synchronization command that runs SYNCRT.EXT and references the Sync data file.

C:\SYNC\SYNCRT.EXE C:\SYNC\SYNCTEST.SYC

You can also execute the instructions in a Sync data file by opening the Sync Builder, loading a Sync data file, and running it.
