Configuring database servers

Depending on your setup and situation, you might want to make sure your database servers are linked (if you are using multiple database servers during synchronization).

To synchronize customizations when the Source and Target forms databases reside on different servers, the server that contains the Source forms database can be defined as a linked server in the server that contains the Target forms database. This is no longer a requirement, but it does speed up the process.

For instructions to configure linked servers, see the Microsoft SQL Server documentation.

Note: In a configuration, local is an invalid server name. You must use the name of the SQL Server instance on the local machine.
