About FormSync

FormSync is a tool, with set of associated utilities, used to manage, synchronize, and maintain customizations to forms in Mongoose-based applications. You can use this tool to selectively apply upgrades supplied by Infor and its business partners, and to manage customizations during the development process.

Preserving customizations during upgrades

Upgrades include vendor-supplied upgrades to an application, service packs, and single fixes. (A single fix applies to one form or a small set of forms and global objects.)

If your forms database contains customizations to objects affected by the upgrade, you should use FormSync to synchronize your customized versions with the new versions. Synchronization allows you to preserve customizations when the upgraded application is installed, synchronizing your customizations with the changes introduced by the vendor.

Managing customizations during development

FormSync's utilities allow you to manage customizations at the object level. These utilities are useful in maintaining development environments, monitoring customizations, and planning synchronizations.
