OpenSync<br />

Background Service<br />

The OpenSync background service is an executable that runs scheduled tasks at the assigned time. It is<br />

implemented in the OSRunner.EXE file located in the installation folder. This process can be loaded<br />

interactively through the OpenSync configuration program or at system startup using the Windows Task<br />

Scheduler. More information regarding these options is discussed in the following sections.<br />

The QuickBooks API is single threaded and as a result, only a single task may be running at any given<br />

time. The background service insures that tasks are sequentially executed. Thus, even if you have<br />

multiple tasks scheduled to run every minute, OpenSync will insure that one taks completes before another<br />

is started.<br />

Starting the service interactively<br />

Starting the service interactively<br />

The main status screen allows you to start, stop, pause and resume the background service. The service<br />

status is always displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the main window. The service must be<br />

stopped or paused before running a task interactively. Starting the service from the OpenSync<br />

configuration program will cause it to run in the interactive user's session.<br />
