How to Run Multiple Instances of Infigo Sync

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and running multiple instances of Infigo Sync on the same machine. This allows you to manage multiple synchronization processes simultaneously, each targeting different platforms or configurations.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have already installed Infigo Sync on your machine.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Locate the Infigo Sync Installation

The default installation path is typically:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ISL

Step 2: Duplicate the Infigo Sync Folder

• Copy the entire Infigo Sync folder.

• Paste the copied folder into the same directory or a different location as desired.

Step 3: Modify the Configuration File

In the newly copied folder, locate and open the file named:

InfigoSync.exe.config

Modify the following configuration keys as required:

Ensure all paths and keys reflect your new instance requirements.

Step 4: Start the New Infigo Sync Instance

You can start the new instance using one of two methods:

Method 1: Running as a Windows Service via PowerShell

Create and run a new Windows service using PowerShell. Follow these steps:

a. Create a PowerShell Script

Save the following script as create-infigo-sync-service.ps1:

param (
    [string]$Name,
    [string]$ExecutablePath
)

if (-not $Name) {
    Write-Host "Service name not provided." -ForegroundColor Red
    exit 1
}

function Create-NewService {
    param (
        [string]$ExecutablePath,
        [string]$Name
    )

    $newServiceName = $Name
    $newExecutable = "`"$ExecutablePath`" service -start"

    New-Service -Name $newServiceName -BinaryPathName $newExecutable -DisplayName "$newServiceName" -Description "Copy of InfigoSync service named $Name"

    Write-Host "Created new service: $newServiceName"
}

if (-not (Test-Path -Path $ExecutablePath)) {
    Write-Host "Executable path not found: $ExecutablePath" -ForegroundColor Red
    exit 1
}

Create-NewService -ExecutablePath $ExecutablePath -Name $Name

b. Execute the Script

Open PowerShell as an administrator and run:

.\create-infigo-sync-service.ps1 -Name "InfigoSync-Clone" -ExecutablePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\ISL\Infigo Sync Copy\InfigoSync.exe"

Replace "InfigoSync-Clone" and the executable path with your desired service name and path.

c. Start the Service

Start the newly created service by running:

Start-Service -Name "InfigoSync-Clone"

Method 2: Manually Running the Executable

Alternatively, manually launch InfigoSync.exe directly from the copied folder.

Summary

By copying the Infigo Sync folder and adjusting the configuration settings, you can now successfully run multiple Infigo Sync instances. This configuration is ideal for managing simultaneous synchronization processes across different platforms or unique configurations.
