Schedule Full Comparison

I have a scheduled profile set to file level incremental comparison.

I would like this schedule to perform a full comparison at night.

I see there is an option to enter some code in the schedule to do this.

Can you please provide me an example of what this code should be?

I have reviewed the variable commands in you help system but I am not sure what ones to use.

Thanks.

You need the latest VVEngine 2.1 Build 2102 or newer for this.

In the Full Recomparison Condition of the VVEngine Scheduling Options enter:

hour >= 0 AND hour <= 7

(this is true between midnight and 7:59 am)

A "Full Recomparison" will be performed between these times if the profile runs.

Question: is the profile running incrementally at night multiple times?

thanks

The schedule runs every 6 minutes. So if i want the full comparison to start at 2am I should set command to look like this?

hour >= 2 AND hour <= 3

Yes, that will force a full re-comparison for every run that happens between 2am and 3am. The condition itself does not actually schedule a run: it forces a full re-comparison if the condition is true and the profile is running.

Thank you.

My full comaprison takes a couple of hours. I have 1.14 million files to compare so the comparison will take place only once starting the first run of the scheduled profile after 2am.

Yes, then it will only run once during that time and perform only one full re-comparison.
