How can I tell whether a specification is up to date?

Hi,

Which state is this question in?

Synchronization?
Mirror?

If there is it in mirrors, the synchronization status does not change even if a network is outage.

If a network restores, incremental data are sent to a target automatically and keep synchronization.

Can you show which status icon changes?

Of course the site status changes if there is a problem in the network.

Sorry - I didn't give enough information.

The state is mirroring, but I am thinking of a situation where the Replistor service has been stopped for a period of time. For example, we have occasional crashes with Replistor and the data directory has to be deleted. I think that when the data directory is removed the specification will not be up to date as the queued changes have now been removed?

When this happens the 'see-saw' icon (next to the specification) is tilted because the specification isn't up to date, if I run a synch then cancel it halfway through (synch makes our server very slow so we sometimes have to cancel if it runs too long) the 'see-saw' is no longer tilted

This suggests that the specification is now in sync. I don't think it is because I cancelled the synch.

So, I'm pretty sure the specification is not in sync but I don't know how to prove it?

Hi,

If a spec folder icon does not become orange, the synchronization does not collapse.

For example, I delete an A folder after having stopped service of RepliStor.
The A folder of the target disappears if I start service.

In addition, the spec folder icon displays orange when I cancel it in Sync.

The Sync Status icon becomes level, but becomes "Aborted" when I watch the details.

I don't think that there is a issue in RepliStor.

That doesn't seem to be the situation with my installation.

If I cancel a sync then I too get the 'aborted' message, but if the sync is deleted then the icon is still yellow and level, it looks like it is in sync but it is not.

On Friday, none of my specifications were orange (they were all yellow and level). I performed a re-sync over the weekend and 100MB data was transferred.

If they were in sync no data would be transferred, or would it?

Thanks.

If the server crashes and you get a delete data dir message then you can NEVER assume that the spec is in sync until you have done a full sync. I think your concern is spot on. From your description it sounds like you were NOT in sync and were missing 100MB. Depending on the data you may always see a little data being replicated on a re-sync but not 100 MB.

If you stop the sync half way through the icon should never go yellow with the scale balanced. I'd call that a bug.

What I tell customers is once you have completed a successful sync, open the source and desitnation folders, create a new file in the destination and make sure it is created on the destination folder as soon as possible. But you MUST have a successful sync.

If I were you I'd start looking into why the sync kills your box. What kind of data are you replicating?
