Help

 

While allowing you to access Help files and the About screen, this menu also provides demonstrations of PeerSync's Real-Time Monitoring and Scheduled Operation modes.

Demos

This option allows the user to instantly run either a Real-Time or Scheduled test Profile to demonstrate PeerSync's synchronization capabilities.

Web Site

This menu item will have many links back to our web site for product information, downloads, updates and support.

PeerSync Help

Will open the application help file to the contents section. You may also access specific parts of the help file for features you are currently observing by pressing 'F1' on your keyboard.

Check for Updates...

Checks whether you are using the latest version of PeerSync. This process requires an Internet connection in order to transmit your registration information to our web server for validation. This feature also has the ability to check updates for all PeerSync related products (if they are installed) directly from the Profiler. This includes also the PSListener. A menu option to check for updates will be displayed for all products that have been installed.

Include Unchecked Jobs in Support Info File

If enabled, the Create Support Info File on the Desktop... log and configuration gathering process will collect Job information from un-checked Jobs.

Create and Upload Support Info to Peer Software Support...

This option will compile all Profile-related files into a zip file. This zip file can be created on the desktop and/or automatically uploaded to Peer Software Support via an Amazon S3 region closest to you. If you do choose to upload to Peer Software Support, you will be required to enter a reason for the upload.
