Synchronization Not Finding Target Changes Without TDB Reset

jasmoo · Joined: 20 Jan 2013 Posts: 20

I have set up a Synchronization between two Source machines and one Target machine. Each Source runs independently with its own profile and tracking database. The Synch involves one folder and perhaps 25 subfolders. The Sources are not detecting changes in the Target unless the Tracking Database is reset, in which case it works once. Source changes seem to work fine. I am using VV Pro2.5 bld 2513 and VVScheduler 2.0.0.6. One Source is Windows 8.1, the others are Windows 7. Any thoughts?

The requested profiles are included below. SORRY about the delay; I though I posted these several days ago but apparently they got lost somehow. Note that S:\ and R:\ are network drives that point to the same location.

Thank you for your attention to this.

Thanks, you have set the profiles to "no rescan target", so the changes on target are not analyzed. The option is in profile settings -> performance - no rescan options. If you disable that option, then changes will be found. thanks

I figured out the way to turn off No-Scan and it seems to work now. Thanks for reorienting me.

I have a suggestion: instead of blank in the drop-down list use None or similar. Also use None as the default. And perhaps include a brief remark in the No-Scan help page.

Of course then we have a double negative which is confusing. Perhaps the whole thing could be rephrased as Scan Options instead of No Scan Options. The options then might be: Default, Not-Source, Not-Target. Or some such.

Regards

Thanks, yes, it is blank by default, you can try by selecting New Profile from the File menu and start from a blank profile. thanks
