Loading a configuration file
You can load one of your previously saved configuration files as means of
re-configuring all settings in a batch, as follows:
1. If K2 InSync is not already running, start it as in “Starting and stopping K2 InSync”
on page 7 . When the Countdown dialog box appears, click Load Config . The Load
Configuration File dialog box appears. Continue with step 3 of this procedure.
2. If K2 InSync is already running, click Config | Load . The Load Configuration File
dialog box appears.
3. Navigate to the location of your saved configuration file, select it, and load it. K2
InSync settings are re-configured accordingly.
4. Click Config | View to confirm that you have the correct settings.
Running synchronizations
K2 InSync is intended to be used primarily as an automatic synchronization tool that
runs continuously in the background and triggers synchronization processes as
defined by the rules that you configure. The mechanisms that run the synchronization
processes are designed for this use, as follows:
• In the manual synchronization mode, click the Start button to start a
synchronization. Only in the manual synchronization mode can you directly
control the start of a synchronization in this way. This is the only synchronization
mode in which the Start button is enabled.
• In any synchronization mode you can pause a currently running synchronization by
clicking the Pause button. When you do so, the currently duplicating task, if
any, is cancelled. Clicking the button again resumes processing at the same task.
• K2 InSync refreshes its synchronization rules at the following times: when K2
InSync starts up; when a configuration is changed and you click OK; or when you
manually load a configuration file. If a synchronization is underway at any of these
times, the synchronization is cancelled and a new synchronization runs as follows:
• If the configuration is set to manual synchronization mode, no synchronization
starts.
• If the configuration is set to periodic synchronization mode, synchronization
starts immediately.
• If the configuration is set to event synchronization mode, synchronization starts
immediately.
