Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide some additional technical details on CIMcloud’s ERP Sync Tool (called “ERP Driver”) and how it moves data between the CIMcloud platform and your ERP system.
The CIMcloud ERP Sync Tool (ERP Driver)…
- Is built on the .NET Framework.
- Runs as a windows service directly on your ERP server.
- Communicates with your CIMcloud platform via a secure TLS 1.2 HTTPS connection using RSA encryption.
- Initiates all communication with the CIMcloud platform.
- Sends (PUSH) changes (of relevant data in your ERP system) to the CIMcloud’s API.
- Initiates a download (PULL) of data from the CIMcloud API to your ERP server.
- Does NOT require any special firewall ports or inbound connections mapped through your firewall.
- Logs activity data for forensic analysis, like:
- Last runtime
- Number of records exported/imported
- Exceptions
- Successful / failed imports
This setup offers a high level of security for you and us, because all ERP Driver needs is an active outbound internet connection.
Sage100 64-Bit Compatibility
Sage100 version 2026 is requiring the Sage100 install to be 64 bit. Previous versions supported both 32 bit and 64 bit installs. The CIMcloud ERP Driver supports Sage100 both as a 32 bit and 64 bit install. Any Sage upgrade should follow the process here – Upgrading Your Sage 100 ERP but there are not any additional steps or issues if you are going from a 32 bit install to a 64 bit install. The ERP driver install on your server is a 32 bit install but it compatible both with Sage100 32 bit and 64 bit.
