Retry Open and Inaccessible Files

The following settings can be accessed from the Global Settings window. Alternatively you can access them from the Options > "Global Settings" > "Global Recovery/Offline Options" menu.

Retry open/inaccessible files every x second(s)

Use this feature to specify, in seconds, how often PeerSync will attempt to synchronize Source Files that are in use. If the "Include open files" option on the File Options screen has not been checked and "Retry" is selected, PeerSync will continue attempting to synchronize files that are opened by other applications. "Retry" will also work when "Include open files" has been checked and a file is read-locked by another application. When the "Retry" option is on, PeerSync will synchronize the open file within x seconds after the file has been closed.

Set maximum number of retries to x

This feature sets a limit indicating how many times to attempt to process open files. If the maximum number of retries gets exceeded for a particular file PeerSync will remove it from the retry-list until another real-time event occurs on the file or a scan detects that the file needs to be added/updated. Setting the retry cycle to 0 will check the file indefinitely.  

Failed Event Reprocess Options

The following settings can be accessed from the Global Settings window. Alternatively you can access them from the Options > "Global Settings" > "Global Recovery/Offline Options" menu.

Reprocess Failed Events every x minute(s)

Use this feature to specify, in minutes, how often PeerSync will reprocess failed events.

Reprocess Failed Events once a day at

Use this feature to specify the time each day for PeerSync to reprocess failed events.

Report Level

Specify the Failed Event Reprocess Report level:

0 - Report a message to all log files

1 - If Failed Events are reprocessed

2 - Always: Even if no Failed Events needed to be reprocessed

Pre Failed Condition Options

The following settings can be accessed from the Global Settings window. Alternatively you can access them from the Options > "Global Settings" > "Global Recovery/Offline Options" menu.

Wait before failing connection for x second(s)

Use this feature to specify, in seconds, how long PeerSync will wait before failing connections.

Number of times to wait and check

This feature sets a limit indicating how many times to wait and check for failing connections.

Failed Connection Options

The following settings can be accessed from the Global Settings window. Alternatively you can access them from the Options > "Global Settings" > "Global Recovery/Offline Options" menu.

Retry failed connections every x minute(s)

PeerSync monitors persistent Jobs (Real-Time, scheduled, interval) for connectivity, and suspends the Job until a connection is resumed. This allows PeerSync to ensure that synchronizations are only attempted when a connection exists. This feature is set by default to a 1 minute interval and can be modified or disabled.

Always run a scan on reconnect

This feature will initiate a full scan on every reconnect to process any file/folder changes which may have occurred during the connection failure. May be useful for Laptop bi-directional scenarios and/or to pull missed data from the target system on reconnect.

Run a scan on reconnect (if needed)

This feature will initiate a full scan at reconnect to process any file/folder changes which may have occurred during the connection failure. A scan will be performed only if a failure occurs in the middle of scan or if a scan was missed when the connection was lost.

Store missed events and process on reconnect

This feature pertains to any Job running in a Real-Time mode. Having this option enabled will store Real-Time events during failed connections and will process these events at Reconnect, eliminating the Source/Target Folder scan. This associates with the /YW command line argument.

Note: This action will run a scan on reconnect (if needed), if a failure occurs in the middle of scan or a scan was missed when the connection was lost.
