Unable to open tracking database.

When I manually run the profile in ViceVersa, it executes without error. If I let the VVEngine execute it (Every 10 minutes and only when changes are detected) it has this error.

We have two servers with about a million files on each server that need to be synced. What is the best method to do this? I wanted the VVEngine to run the profile as soon as a change is detected.

This setup is fine, but I would maybe split the job into multiple profiles with fewer files.
Is VVengine running under which account? Is it running as a service? Where is the tracking db located?

thanks!

The VVEngine is setup to run as a service under a Administrator account.
That account has permission for the other servers as well as the folder where the db is.

The tracking db is in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ViceVersa PRO 2\vvdb1.tdb" and is about 300 meg in size.

It would be difficult to break the job into smaller pieces since all of the files are in seperate folders under a main folder.

I disabled the VVEngine and started running VV with a schedule.

The The tracking db seems as though it is getting corrupted.

After a few runs, I still get the error tracking db is not available.
I reset it and it runs ok for a while then it errors again.

I think you are getting an out-of-memory issue and the tracking database is getting corrupted. The only solution is to lower the amount of files processed by a single profile. You could try splitting the job into multiple profiles, using subfolder filters, each profile can handle approx 1 million files.

For example

Profile 1
source : c:\source\
target : d:\target\
include subfolders filter a*
include subfolders filter b*
include subfolders filter c*
include subfolders filter d*

Profile 2
source : c:\source\
target : d:\target\
exclude subfolders filter a*
exclude subfolders filter b*
exclude subfolders filter c*
exclude subfolders filter d*

You can then run the profiles sequentially using VVEngine
