Real-Time Arguments

Real-Time Arguments

The following arguments are appended to the end of the command line followed by a space and forward slash (i.e. /A). A space and forward slash are also used to separate each additional argument (i.e. /A /M).

/GA:x

Set Empty File Delay: If the /GA argument is used, PeerSync will delay x milliseconds before synchronizing empty (zero size) files that are detected in Real-Time.

/GB:x

Set Shadow Detection: If the /GB argument is used, PeerSync will delay x milliseconds to synchronize subsequent updates of the same file during Real-Time.

/LA

Real-time Attribute Change: If the /LA argument is used, PeerSync will monitor attribute changes to files in Real-Time and use these changes as triggers for file synchronization.

/LF

Use Update Sensitivity: If the /LF argument is used, PeerSync will use the update section of PSChangeNotify to detect file changes during real-time.

Note: This feature is generally too sensitive, and will create multiple detections.

/LG

Folder Change Detection: If the /LG argument is used, PeerSync will detect folder changes, and in Enhanced Real-Time will force  the security description to be validated. Any change to the folder will trigger a scan of the folder including its sub folders, so that more CPU will be required. This option is not recommended for non-enhanced Real-Time.

/LG1

Folder ACL Detection: If the /LG1 argument is used PeerSync will detect folder changes, and in Enhanced Real-Time will force only  the ACLs and attributes to be validated. Any change to the folder (i.e. file/folder adds or deletes) will force a comparison of security descriptors and attributes. This argument is more efficient then the /LG option above because it will not perform a scan of the folder.  Use this argument if you wish to detect and replicate ACLs in real-time for empty folders or folders that contain files for which inheritances has been disabled. Without the /LG1 argument PeerSync would need to perform a scan in order to replicate the permissions for such folders.

/LL

Disable Real-time Security Change: If the /LL argument is used, PeerSync will not trigger updates in Real-Time when a file's security has changed.

/LPC:x

Set Maximum Number of Events to Process within each Enhanced Real-Time Queue Check: If the /LPC argument is used, PeerSync will set the maximum number of events to process within each Enhanced Real-Time queue check to x events. The default is 25 events and the minimum is 5 events.

/LPC:x+

Set Maximum Number of Events to Process within each Enhanced Real-Time Queue Check: Adding the + argument PeerSync will process the events currently in the list at the time of queue checking set by LPQ.

Example: To queue events for 30 minutes (1800 seconds) and process them on that interval use the following arguments: /LPQS1800 /LPC+

/LPD:x

Set Delay between Enhanced Real-Time Deletions: If the /LPD argument is used, PeerSync will delay the deletion of files x milliseconds during Enhanced Real-Time.

/LPE:x

Set Delay between Enhanced Real-Time Event Processing: If the /LPE argument is used, PeerSync will delay the processing of each event x milliseconds.

/LPM:x

Set Enhanced Real-Time Event Upper Limit: If the /LPM argument is used, PeerSync will set the maximum number of items x to allow in the Enhanced Real-Time event queue before reverting to non-enhanced Real-Time. If this value is set to 0 then the option is disabled (the default is 20000 events). If and when the Upper Limit is reached PeerSync will clear all Enhanced Real-Time events that have not been processed and scan the directories for changes.

/LPW:x:y

Set Enhanced Real-Time Event Queue Delay: If the /LPW argument is used, PeerSync will set the number of items x in the enhanced real-time event queue to wait for before processing, as well as, the maximum time to wait for to y milliseconds.

/LPQ:x

Set Delay between Enhanced Real-Time Queue Checking: If the /LPQ argument is used, PeerSyncwill delay x milliseconds before checking the Enhanced Real-Time queue for new events.

/LPX:x

Set Process Delay for Enhanced Real-time Changes: The /LPX argument allows you to set the delay time for Enhanced Real-Time changes to be processed to x milliseconds. This value will be applied directly for adds and updates and will be multiplied by 3 for deletions. The default is 1000 milliseconds for adds/updates and 3000 milliseconds for deletions

/YK:n

Set Real-time Copy Thread Pool: Used to set the percentage of copy threads to reserve for Real-Time events, where n can be set between the values of 1 and 99. The default value is 10 percent.

/QR

Real-Time Global Exclusions: Use this argument when you want to exclude real-time events earlier in the process and throw the events away. This argument will not log/report the exclusions. Improves performance when a high amount of events need to be excluded.
