Chapter 1 • Installing Quality Center Synchronizer

Stopping the Quality Center Synchronizer Service

You stop the Synchronizer service from the Synchronizer server machine.

To stop the Quality Center Synchronizer service:

1Make sure that no tasks are running for any link. You can check whether link tasks are currently running from the Running field in the Links Grid. For more information on the Links Grid, see “Viewing Link Details” on page 84.

Tip: To ensure that no tasks can run on any link, disable all links before you stop the Quality Center Synchronizer service. For more information on disabling links, see “Enabling and Disabling Synchronization Links” on page 102.

2On the Synchronizer server machine, choose Start > Programs > HP Quality Center Synchronizer > Stop Synchronizer.

Starting the Quality Center Synchronizer Client

After you have installed the Synchronizer server and client, and started the server, you can start the Synchronizer client and connect to the server.

Notes:

➤You can work with more than one client connected to the server at the same time. To avoid unexpected results, if you work with more than one client, you must make sure that no link is worked on by more than one client at the same time.

➤The Synchronizer client is automatically disconnected from the Synchronizer server after an extended period of inactivity. For information on reconnecting, see “Disconnecting from and Reconnecting to the Quality Center Synchronizer Server” on page 28.
