import package replication Replication package doesn't work

[Artem]

Hi,

I got an issue with replicaiton package.

I created replication package of branch /main and copied package-file into another PC with Plastic.

It was imported, but too fast for package with 6.1Gb size... After, I tried to switch workspace.

 

And finally I can see only 91,4 MB of data in my workspace. Most of files has zero-size

I did import it twice, into new repository, - result same (

 

iNFO:

Plastic SCM: 6.0.16.1515
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

Hi, it's a bit strange. Could you try to use the regular replica operation? Or isn't it possible to do it in your enviroment?

We can also use the fast-export/fast-import to workaround your problem:

regular replication is working well

but times to times we needs to be able copy repository (usually big) to machine without internet (or with very slow connection)..

So, today I did new test with small repository (between same PCs) - it's working.

I'll try use fast-export\import tommorow. (never used it before). I will let you know result.

Thank you!

P.S.
If by some reasone (in some world-places) internet connection very poor and\or unstable - there is no way to sync (big) repository. 
Plastic can't resume sync process if connection lost. Need to begin from start
In case like that - solution is to create package and sync it using another tool(s) which able to resume sync process.

I checked fast-export\import commands with same repository.

It's doesn't work. All operations (import\export) was successful.

But,

 

as you can see size is different, my project (in new PC) broken.

Hm, 

it's very strange..

I checked again (import into new repository) using fast-import command - and it's imported correctly.

It's strange indeed.

Can you try again? Do you have the "cm" log enabled? I would like to compare the log generated on a successful run with one where it "fails"

[Artem]

suddenly, I don't have these logs (I did play with that using some virtual machine).

Anyway, a specially, I created new repository (with non work files) and exported all data into package.

I tried import it, but result isn't successful.

(just error, and no details in "Show summary...")

I can upload this package (31.5Gb !!), if it help to fix this function. Let me know the best place (for you) for upload this data.

Plastic version I used now:  6.0.16.1515

P.S.
Usually, I like to work with command line tools, but some people not... 
I mean, will be greate to have work version on standard function for import\export packages (without command line mecanism).

P.P.S.
With very small packages - usually everything work fine.. it's why I created big one

 

Tnx!

Can you upload it to a dropbox account? Or a Google Drive one?

After I have the file you can delete it if you want.

Thank you.

I didn't able to upload, because there are some limitations for file size ... this file is huge.

Finally, I did upload it to my personal home filestorage.
