External Data Sources
These are the notes for GoZync 3. Docs for the latest version of GoZync--GoZync 4--can be found here. GoZync 4 is a free upgrade and is highly recommended (hint: it's faster).
Do I have to edit any Data Sources in GoZync?
There are only a couple External Data Sources (what we used to call File References) you need to worry about:
In Your Mobile File. You'll want a single reference to GoZyncMobile. This should look like this:
In GoZyncMobile. This needs two kinds of data sources. The first is a reference to GoZyncHosted and it will likely have two entries, like this:
fmnet:/YourServer.com/GoZyncHosted
The first of these entries works when the hosted and mobile files are on the same machine: such as when you first download GoZync. The second entry should point to the hosted version of GoZyncHosted on your host or FileMaker Server. This second line, where it says "your server.com" should be the public address of your host or server. This is the address you'd type into FileMaker Go if you wanted to open one of your hosted files directly. If you're having trouble, try opening a hosted file directly on FileMaker Go. If that address works, that's the address to use in place of "your server.com".
The second kind of reference is that GoZyncMobile needs a reference to each of your mobile files that you're Zyncing. These references are created as part of your integration, when you add your table occurrences to the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile.
In GoZyncHosted. You don't need to change the references in GoZyncHosted unless you change the names of your files.
My external data sources were wrong
If you had a problem with your data sources, be sure to quit FileMaker and reopen your files after fixing them. FileMaker can hold on to references to open files.

What if I rename my files?
You can rename any of the hosted files, provided you keep your External Data Sources up to date as you would when renaming any FileMaker solution. You'll likely need to rename these if you host your files with a shared hosting provider.
And you can rename your mobile files, of course, provided you keep the External Data Source references in GoZyncMobile up to date.
You can't rename GoZyncMobile, however.
