Introduction

CapaInstaller Synchronization Service (CiSync) is a windows service responsible for synchronizing data between CapaInstaller Management Points, CapaInstaller Management Servers, and CapaInstaller OS Deployment Servers. The data being synchronized can be software packages, OS images, or simply (SMP)share content.

The purpose of the CapaInstaller Synchronization service is to keep the CapaInstaller Management Points or CapaInstaller Management Servers up to date.


On a CapaInstaller Management Server,  the synchronization service is an optional component.
