wvd_vegt Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi I encountered a small 'bug' (or ommission) in the Sync Replication part of the client. If you add remote target repository to a already present source, the resulting dialog's select server combobox only contains the local server and not already entered (and prefereable on the valid) remote servers. As I have to enter an almost complete Active Directory name it's pretty annorying. I can live with a list of (remote) servers already present in the syncview. It would furthermore be nice if there was a way to search for remote servers in the same network (or reachable through a vpn). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuar Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi wvd_vegt, If you have set a connection profile to that server it should appear in the list every time you add a repository in the Sync Replication view. To set a connection profile: Preferences -> Profiles -> Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi I probably forgot to read that part of the manual. Thanks (saves me a lot of typing)! Btw is there a way to have the sync create a new repository remotely to sync with (I would like to sync home with work and do not fancy copying database files and mount them under the correct name for every new repository I create (got already 50+ of them so had to create a batch file to copy/mount them at the remote side). Another scenario for this would be to use a central server as backup of local repo's. I'm not talking large number of developers here but one or a couple at most. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuar Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi wvd_vegt, To create a remote replica of your local repository you don't need to copy databases or worry about names. Think you want to replicate your local repo MyWorkRepo at your home: 1.- You can create a new (empty) repository remotely through the "Repositories" view: ("Create new repository" button) and specify a name, let's say: "MyWorkRepoReplica" (as you can see names don't have to match) and also, the url to the remote Plastic Server. 2.- Create a new Sync view between the local and remote repositories: MyWorkRepo as source and MyWorkRepoReplica as target (or vice versa). Then, just sync both repos, and it's done. I hope I've answered your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi Yep (if it works and i'm counting on that). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi, Small remark on the functionality/usability (btw it works like charm and lets possible errors of copying databases on top of each other dissapear). It would be nice if collapsed sync pair would show some status that there is someting to look at. As i have 50 or so repo's i will probably end up with as many sync relationships and then the user interface of the client is limited. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuar Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi wvd_vegt, We have made note of your suggestion. Meanwhile, you can consider the possibility of dividing the sync pairs among different sync views, so it will be more comfortable to check the new changes. regards, Anuar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Anuar Currently I have only a few replications (to get the feeling of it). I will scale the number up slowly (and maybe divide it into logical groups). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
