RESOLUTION

This article is exclusively for the Point Data Server Administrator.

Set Permissions for the Network Service and IUSR account used by IIS

1. Go to the PDS server.

2. Set NTFS Permissions to Full Control for both the Network Service and IUSR account at C:\Program files\Calyx Software.

3. From the Security window, click Advanced and check the box to force permissions to all child objects.

4. Stop and Start the CalyxPDS Filesync service from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

 

Synchronize Data Folders

All users must exit Point prior to synchronizing data folders.

1. Log into the PDS Administration page, (https://yourpdsserverurl/admin).

2. Go to Configuration > Parameters.

 

Note: The next step is to change the PointCentral security key. This will prevent users from accessing the PointCentral server and interrupting the synchronization process. Please write down the exact security key, before changing it, because you will need to put the security key back to what it was originally after the synchronization has completed.

5. Click Save.
