Error while using the Sync Replication view

[tom.peters]

Good Day!

So far, Plastic 4 is exceeding our expectations. I have only hit a few bumps and bruises. The latest one is; when using the Sync Replication, I am able to view the pending branches to replicate from my local server to the master server, but when viewing the pending branches from the master to my local server, I get an error:

"There has been an unexpected error: 'The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type is found <server>:8087 For more information check the server log."

Here is the log info from my local server:

Here is the info from the master server:

Please note, that I am able to replicate via the UI (both directions, push/pull remote) with no errors. It's just the Sync Replication view that errors out.

Thanks, in advance, for your guidance.

Hi Tom!

Kindly can you tell me please which version of Plastic SCM are you using?

Also, could you tell me please whether the error still appears when using IP address instead of a hostname on the sync view?

And also, could you tell me which Authentication mode(s) are you using on both servers, along with their database backends?

Many thanks in advance, and kind regards

Hi Jesús -

I am running 4.0.239.2

I am using the Rep@IP:8087 to reach the master server. For my local server, my IP address is dynamic, so I need to use either the machine name or 'localhost'. I have tried both and get the same error.

Thanks!!!

Tom

There's only one reason: one of the two servers is not reaching the other.

[tom.peters]

OK. It seems that if I make my local server the 'source' and the remote/master server the 'target', all is well. It's when the remote is defined as 'source' that I get this error.

Since I can work now, this can be closed. Thanks for your time!!!!

Thank you Tom.
