RDS Advantage/RDS Connect offers churches seamless Remote Deposit Capture
RDS Advantage (RDS) provides advanced software tools and services to churches of all denominations across the United States. RDS’s core applications, RDS Advantage and RDS Connect (a cloud-hosted version), offer churches a wide range of features to assist with accounting, membership, attendance, gifts, calendaring, check-in, event scheduling, inventory, and reporting; and they are the only church management systems to offer Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) as a one-step process.
Based on Synergy/DE 9.5, RDS’s Remote Deposit Capture technology makes accounting entries and electronic check bank deposit a one-step process. Contribution and receivable checks are quickly run through a check imager for data entry while a deposit endorsement is printed on the back of the check, an encrypted copy of the front and back of the check is stored on the computer, and the entire deposit is sent to the bank. Several large banks have endorsed the RDS Remote Deposit Capture procedure, which uses the banking industry’s standard protocol for RDC.
“This is obviously a tremendous time saver for our customers,” states RDS president Dick Webber. “Other systems use a check imager provided by their bank; the church runs the checks through the imager and sends the file to the bank for deposit; and then the church has to enter the data into their accounting system. Our solution accomplishes all of this in just one quick and easy step, as well as offering a much more accurate and secure alternative to manually carrying checks to the bank.”

Attention Windows developers supporting multiple Synergy/DE versions on the same machine
As of version 9.5.1, having multiple Synergy/DE versions on the same development machine is no longer supported
Although Synergex has never recommended version coexistence, we did support it on development systems prior to Synergy/DE 9.5.1. With 9.5.1, however, we ended this support for a number of reasons, including 1) there are restrictions in the .NET and Visual Studio environments that preclude coexistence in some scenarios; 2) coexistence is a developer-only feature used by a very small (and shrinking) subset of our user base; and 3) virtualization provides an easy and cost-effective alternative.
If you would like assistance on reconfiguring your development environment, contact your Synergy/DE account manager for more information.

ClientServerExamples helps you choose the best client/server architecture for your application
The possibilities for client/server architecture are numerous, and Synergy developers sometimes wonder what their options are. The ClientServerExamples CodeExchange entry can help you sort through the possibilities and choose the best one for your application. ClientServerExamples includes six different implementations of the same .NET client application, but with different technologies used to communicate with the back-end server. And each of the six client applications is written in three separate versions: one in C#, one in Synergy .NET, and one in Visual Basic .NET. You'll see, for example, how a client can communicate with an ASP.NET web service, which in turn uses xfNetLink .NET to communicate with xfServerPlus. And you'll see how a client communicates with a WCF service that is hosted in an ASP.NET web application. To run the complete set of examples, you'll need
- Synergy/DE 9.5.1a or higher with xfServerPlus (on a 64-bit system you'll need both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Synergy/DE installed)
- Visual Studio 2010 Professional SP1 or higher
- Synergy Language Integration for Visual Studio 9.5.1a or higher
For more information and the code, see CodeExchange. CodeExchange is available in the Synergy/DE Resource Center to supported Synergy/DE customers. Be sure to take advantage of this great resource, and don't forget to submit your own CodeExchange entries so that other Synergy developers can benefit from your cool code.
xfServerPlus service is not restarting after a reboot
Question: We are running Synergy/DE 9.1.5b on a Windows 2008 R2 x64 domain controller, and we have xfServerPlus installed and running. When we reboot, the service (xfsp) fails to start, and the Windows event log reports:
The Synergy/DE xfServerPlus service terminated with the following error:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
We can go into services and manually start it, but why won't it start automatically?
Answer:
The problem is that the service is trying to start prior to the startup of Active Directory. Fortunately, this is easy to fix. Just change the startup type for your xfServerPlus service from "Automatic" to "Automatic (Delayed Start)".
Synergy/DE pros, see if you can answer this question!
What is the output of the following program on the latest version of Synergy/DE?
main
record
a ,@d
b ,@d
proc
open(1,o,"TT:")
a = 1
b = 1
writes(1, string(a == b))
end
a. "true"
b. "false"
c. "1"
d. "0"
e. This does not compile
