Folder synchronisation of monitored & non monitored fold

[Phil.badger]

Hi Support,

I have an issue where I need to synchronise data from an UNC path only. When I try to set this to be monitored I get an error saying that this path cannot be monitored. I followed the support pages and specified that the destination folder is monitored. Due to the amount of data I set the monitoring level to subfolder as a full recomparison takes over 20 minutes.

As I cannot monitor the source folder the schedule is set to every 5 minutes or on destination folder change.

Here lies the issue; If I then add files to the source folder, with no changes to the destination, the scheduled job does not pick up the new files in the source drive. Even after a number of runs, the files are not copied. Where as if I add or change a file in the destination folder the files are instantly copied from the source.

At first I thought this was an issue with the UNC drive so I created local copy between folders on the same server and the same issue occurs in that the changes to the non monitored folder are not detected even on a scheduled run.

Is there anyway around this without having to do a full recomparison as this takes too long.

Thanks and kind regards,

Phil

Hi, can you specify exactly the scheduling settings you are using in VVEngine and you profile settings in ViceVersa? thanks

Hi,

The VVengine has the following settings;

run immediately as soon as source and target are accessible

File Monitoring
Monitor Target and run when file changes are detected
monitoring Level: File Level.

Profile Settings:

Profile File: e:\vice verca\istencilcopy.fsf

Folders
- Source: "\\servername\iStencilFiles\DATA\StencilRepository\"
- Target: "E:\companyData\CEEUROPE\EUStencils\StencilRepository\"
- Include Subfolders: Yes
Comparison
- Comparison Type: Size and Timestamp
Execution
- Method: Synchronization (synchronize conflicts)
- No overwrite / read-only / error confirmations
- Tracking Database: "C:\ProgramData\ViceVersa PRO\stencilrep.tdb"
- Log File: "E:\Vice Verca\stencilrepcopy.log" (max 10000 KB)
- Log only summary and errors
- No archive for deleted/replaced source files
- No archive for deleted/replaced target files
- Copy files even if timestamp changes after initial comparison

Kind regards,

Phil

That's perfect, thank you. Can you please post the log:

E:\Vice Verca\stencilrepcopy.log

Interested to see for a scheduled run why it is not synchronizing files in the source even if change detection is not enabled for source.

thanks

Thanks.

Under File Monitoring, in the VVEngine scheduling options, for option
... perform full recomparison if this condition is true (optional):
enter Scheduled_run = true

This will force a full compare on scheduled runs.

thanks
