Installing a New Version of AutoSYNC
1. Use the SUSPEND SYNCUSER command to suspend all AutoSYNC users.
2. Wait for active synchronizations to complete. Use the STATUS SYNC command to
display the active synchronizations.
3. Stop the AutoSYNC monitor process with the AUTOSYNC command STOP
MONITOR.
Note that there are no ill effects resulting from stopping the monitor without first
suspending the syncusers. AutoSYNC still makes sure that each active
synchronization has completed before shutting down. Suspending the syncusers
simply provides better control of synchronization activity when the monitor is eventually
restarted.

Running Different Versions of AutoSYNC
If you need to run different versions of AutoSYNC on the same system, for example to
test a new version of the product, you must configure an alternate AutoSYNC
environment (Monitor and MapDB) and install the test software in a different location.
For details on configuring and using an alternate environment, see Configuring and
