Subfolder monitoring

[dougalthedog]

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to the new vvengine to use the subfolder monitoring feature. However, more often than not folders are requiring a full rescan. Often this happens immediately after another full rescan completes and sometimes no files or folders are copied.

What are the criteria for a full rescan to take place and can you suggest how this can be minimised?

Also if I have lots of profiles running at once, they quite often seem to fail part way through. This doesn't seem to be a network issue as other profiles using the same shares keep running. Is it possible that the number of profiles running together is causing a timeout (the link is quite slow).

Is it possible to set vvengine to queue profiles so that only one ever runs at a time?

Thanks.

Hello,

what's the reason given for the full update? Are you monitoring local folders or remote? Over which type of connection?

In VVEngine you can run profiles sequentially, with the option after this profile run...

thanks

Hi,

I can see no reason given either on VVengine or in the log - where would I find the reason?

I am syncing folders between the local server and another server at a remote site. The connection is ADSL with a 500kbps uplink speed.

I am not looking to run profiles based on the results of another. I have multiple folders being monitored and want to only run one profile at a time because if several run it takes hours to complete.

Thanks.

Hi , if you click on "Details..." under "Detected Changes" in the profile page, it will show a chronological list of all changes, including oveflows and associated reasons.

Hi,

I am using syncronisation so monitoring both locally and over ADSL.

I am seeing the message "Some changes may have been missed due to network disconnection, full update needed."

However, there are multiple profiles being monitored over the same ADSL link and not all show this error.

How does VV check for network disconnection and can this be disabled or the timeout increased?

The VPN linking the 2 sites shows an uptime of 65 hours but this message was generated 12 hours ago.

Thanks.

Hi,

The problem seems to relate to the profiles which show "execution not completed".

For example at the moment, I have a profile which ran from 10:35:05 until 12:24:38 which says execution not completed. It then started a full update at 12:24:48.

At the same time, however, I have another profile which started at 11:30:32 and has been running for 1h 08m 40s uninterrupted.

These two profiles are syncing different folders on the same 2 servers over the same ADSL connection so I can't see how one can be accessible and the other not.

Hello,
it could be that monitoring too many folders on the web simultaneously leads to network disconnection for one of them. For the profile in error, does the same happen if that is the only profile enabled?
thanks

Hi,

I will try this and let you know.

Would a change taking place whilst a profile is running cause a full rescan?

Could you answer these questions from my previous posts please:

Hi,

I was hoping for some more quantitative information that I could compare with my setup, e.g. how does VV check for "connectivity issues" and how fast is too fast!

Perhaps this should be in a separate thread, but are you aware of any issues when using VVEngine to monitor and sync a shared excel worksheet? It seems to be causing the file to appear locked to Excel and prevent sharing. Disabling the relevant VVEngine profile fixes the problem.
