GSCC ver 3 Account Sync Summary
CC User (with help from support) can switch from Old Scheme to New Scheme.
Existing GSCC Accounts keep Old Scheme (No Account Sync):
* Jobs can be edited in GSCC Web UI.
* Server Accounts may be uploaded from GS GUI client.
GSCC Ver 3 adds the New Scheme that is more flexible and allows full integration with GoodSync GUI,
so you can create and test-run your Jobs in a regular GoodSync GUI Client on Windows or Mac.
In the New Scheme you can:
* Perform two-way sync of Server Accounts, Jobs, and Program Options
between GoodSync Account on Mediator and GoodSync Control Center Account (GSCC).
* Mediator syncs Jobs and Server Accounts to GoodSync GUI Clients, which are used for Job testing.
* Edit existing Jobs and Program Options in Control Center and in GoodSync GUI.
* Create new Jobs from existing Accounts and Bookmarks -- in Control Center and in GoodSync GUI.
* Create Schedules for job runs and assign them to CC-runners.
* View existing Server Accounts and their Bookmarks (for now read only).
Automatic job options in the new scheme are split into two categories:
* Criteria for executing Jobs automatically. Located in the Auto block as before.
* Execution Schedules. Now a separate entity,
telling which Jobs to execute on which CC-Runner and at what times.
* Runner Groups were removed in the new scheme, replaced by Schedules.
Switching from the old to the new working scheme requires a complete transition from Jobs sent to CC-runner as command line to Jobs of CC-Runner being synced from GoodSync Account and only Auto Options and Schedules are sent to CC Runner from Control Center.
When switching to the new scheme, Jobs, Preferences and the history of Job runs for the old scheme become inaccessible, as the old mode Jobs are no longer visible to CC-runners. But you can switch back to the Old Scheme, until New Scheme is complete.
Switching to the new scheme is done in the Company Settings section. To activate the New Scheme you must specify the GoodSync Account that will be used for Account Sync. All CC-Runners connected to this GoodSync Account (via Control Center) and all GoodSync GUI clients connected to this GoodSync Account (via Mediator) will have the same Jobs, Server Accounts and Program Options.
Control Center performs Account Sync (with Mediator) when Sync Token changes. This is done to reduce number of Account Syncs when nothing has changed.
If there were changes during Account Sync between GSCC and the Mediator, the current Sync Token in the headers sent to the cc-runner will change and it signals to CC Runner that full Account Sync is needed.
