is built on top of an application framework that provides web services, authentication, encryption, and automation facilities. comes bundled with a web server, built on top of Eclipse Jetty, to support simple cross-platform deployment. This stand-alone web server is launched by running the .jar file, which is in the installation directory (InstallationDirectory).

Starting as a Service

Starting as a service ensures that the application starts automatically and remains available without requiring manual startup. The instructions below explain how service installation and management differ between Microsoft Windows and Linux systems.

Microsoft Windows

In Windows, is installed as a service by default. To access the application, you must first ensure that the service is running. Once the service is running, you can access the admin console by opening a web browser and entering http://localhost:8181/ in the URL field.

Linux

After you install to a location of your choice, you can either run as a service or run the application manually. recommends using a service if you use for critical applications. includes a service.sh script that you can use to configure a systemd or init.d service on Linux systems. For detailed instructions about setting up as a service in a Linux environment, see Running Sync as a Service.

Starting Manually

If you prefer not to run as a service, you can start the application manually. includes a bundled Java Development Kit (JDK) that is sufficient to run the application. To start without creating a service, submit the following command to run the .jar file from the installation directory, as shown below: "<InstallationDirectory>\jre\<Version>\bin\java.exe" -jar sync.jar Replace InstallationDirectory with your installation path and Version with the included JDK version, which is available in <InstallationDirectory>\jre\. In a standard Microsoft Windows installation, this command looks like this: "C:\Program Files\CData\CData Sync\jre\jdk-17.0.19+10\bin\java.exe" -jar sync.jar
