To Review Customizations and Tools in the Synergy Enterprise environment, follow the path Modules / System / Reports / Add-ons / Solutions. This will provide you with the following information:

First Section “Solution license end date”

This will display all of the GLM System Tools, including the options that have been purchased by the Account. In many cases, customers select and purchase various sub-modules that make business sense to fulfill requirements. Next to the Features includes the Start date and End Date of the license, which is used for Annual Maintenance follow-up. Logisticfree

Second Section “Solutions”

This section will display all solutions installed within your Synergy Enterprise environment. Some of these customizations may be from your Software provider, such as “InterConnect”, which is a Macola Tool, while others such as “dgiCRM” is a Tool for CRM activities created by The Donas Group, Inc. Logisticfree

All customizations for Synergy Enterprise require the Exact Software “Enabling add-on solutions role” to be in their license.

In this example, we see that there are:

  • Professional Role (22 licenses purchased and 22 in use)
  • CRM Role (10 licenses purchased and 10 in use)
  • Employee Self Service Role (14 licenses purchased and 14 in use)
  • Enabling Add-on Solutions Role (46 licenses purchased and only 36 in use)

This means that some of the resources are unable to use the functionality of these tools Logisticfree

Customizations will be enabled only to those Resources which have this role linked to their HR Card.
Here is an example of a Resource that has this role in their HR Card. Logisticfree

Uninstalling of the Logistics Plus add-on consist of the following steps:

Run the installer

Open the GLMSysAddOnInstaller.exe and select install mode ‘Uninstall’. Select or enter the location of the Synergy installation folder. Logisticfree

To uninstall, click ‘Start’. The uninstall will remove the customization files from your Synergy folder and will copy back the original Synergy files.

To make the uninstall process complete, open Synergy and rebuild the repository via System / Setup / Repository / Rebuild.

In some instances, it is necessary to delete SQL database triggers within some of the tables. Contact us for more infomration and assistance.

Options for Disengaging Synergy Customizations

Section titled “Options for Disengaging Synergy Customizations”

Option – Disengage all Customizations

Under Modules / System / Setup / Add-Ons / Settings, select the Disable add-ons and click it. Close the browser and all customizations in Synergy will disappear when opened by the Administrator. Logisticfree

This will also turn off all customizations done by Exact, Macola, JobBOSS or MAX personnel and including those done by other consultants.

Option – Disengage GLM System Modifications

Section titled “Option – Disengage GLM System Modifications”

To disable a GLM Systems Tool, a System Administrator may go to the Synergy Installation Directory and under the XML directory, there will be three files for each of the tools.

As an example, the files for the CRM Plus Tool include:

a. Custom.GLMSys.CRMPlus.xml
b. Repository.GLMSys.CRMPlus.xml
c. Repository.zGLMSys.CRMPlus.xml

To disable the tool, place a “z” in front of each of these files, as this example demonstrates:

a. zCustom.GLMSys.CRMPlus.xml
b. zRepository.GLMSys.CRMPlus.xml
c. zRepository.zGLMSys.CRMPlus.xml

This will temporarily disable the tool without Installing. This must be done for all of the Tools which are being utilized by the Account.
