syncing multiple documentstores

[Piet Honkoop]

Hi,

Can cmissync synchronise 2 different sites' documentstores (alfresco) to a local disk if changelog is enabled?

What I notice is that both repositories continuously synchronise (which is no fun if the document stores are ~5GB each with a zillion small files).

Another PC that syncs with cmissync 1 of the 2 documentstores has no issues whatsoever. Only the one with 2 documentstores...

Any pointers?

Thanks,

Piet

Hello Piet,

Synchronizing one or two or many sites is not supposed to make a difference, and CmisSync should not sync continuously.

About the other PC that has no issue: is this other PC connected to a different Alfresco, or to the same one?

In such cases, I usually suggest to `tail -f` the log file to see when the changelog token changes.

Thanks for using CmisSync!

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for your rapid feedback!

Both connect to the same Alfresco server. the Alfresco server has sites A & B

PC 1 synchronises only site A, works correctly

PC 2 syncs A & B, this one runs forever...

the point is that PC2 only seems to get the change token from site A, not from B.

Already tried adding a document through the web interface to site B in order to start the change tracking as per the cmissync site instructions, but to no avail.

Is change tracking by any chance per site? From the Alfresco config I didn't think so but given the above scenario, I start to doubt ;)

Any hints?

Thanks,

Piet

Hello Piet,

Each Alfresco server only has one single ChangeLog. All sites in the same Alfresco instance share the same ChangeLog.

So, if you upload a document, for both A and B CmisSync will check whether the change is relevant to that particular site, and launch a full sync if yes.

At what point does CmisSync deviate from this nominal behavior?

Cheers!

Hi Nicolas,

ok, so the scheme is (if I understand it correctly) as follows:

I update a document in site A.

the changelog counter gets bumped

PC 1 comes along and checks for updates based on the changelog

it sees the log counter is different and starts a full sync for both site A and B.

Correct?

Because at that point, it is no use to sync 2 sites :(

That is what we see on that 1 PC: it keeps on running full sync (and downloading everything) on Site B.

Whereas the other PC simply syncs the delta on Site A (it only knows of Site A).

Thanks!

Piet
