PeerLock Global Settings Overview

PeerLock Global Settings

 

If you are running PeerLock v2.0.1 or newer on the same machine as PeerSync you will now be able to configure PeerLock directly from the PeerSync Profiler.  The following options allow you to add the selected PeerSync Jobs to PeerLock and launch the PeerLock application or Global Options for configuration. The options in this window can be accessed from the PeerLock > PeerLock Global Settings window.

Link this Profiler to PeerLock

If this global setting is enabled, all the Jobs that have the "Include this Job in PeerLock" option selected will be added to PeerLock. These Jobs in PeerLock  will be managed by PeerSync and cannot be edited/removed directly from the PeerLock interface.  Un-checking this option will remove all PeerSync managed Jobs from the PeerLock interface.

Disable Jobs that are Not Configured from this Profiler

Selecting this option then saving the PeerSync Profiler or clicking on the "Save Changes in PeerLock" link will remove/delete any existing Jobs from the PeerLock configuration. Only Jobs that are managed by PeerSync will be maintained.

Save Changes in PeerLock

Click on this link to commit your PeerSync Job/Profile updates to PeerLock. This link becomes available when you make Job or Profile changes that need to be saved and applied to PeerLock (i.e. Source/Target path update, Exceptions, ...). This can be achieved also by clicking on the Save button from the Toolbar or File Menu. If there are no Profile updates to be saved, this link will be unavailable.

Global Options

Selecting this link will open the PeerLock Global Options dialog that contains the configuration settings for all the Jobs in PeerLock. When the application is terminated/closed this link will become available.

Show PeerLock

You can run PeerLock as an application or as a service. Clicking on this link will launch the PeerLock interface where you can start PeerLock to run as an application or as a service. You can also start/stop the PeerLock service directly from the PeerLock Run/View window in the PeerSync Profiler.

 

Through the PeerLock interface  you will be able to view the files that are Locked or Released by PeerLock when it is running as an application.  This status information is not available when PeerLock is running as a Service. The PeerLock Jobs that are managed by PeerSync will be un-editable. When the application is terminated/closed this link will become available.

 

Note: You will need the Peer Administrator product In order to view the PeerLock status while running as a service.

 

 

Notes:

 

1.These settings are Global. Global Settings are global to the current Profile. These settings and options pertain to all of the Jobs in the current Profile.

 

2.PeerLock supports the usage of Windows System and Registry variables in the Source and Target fields (i.e. %UserName%, %ComputerName%). Custom PeerSync variables such as %JobName% are currently not supported and will not work in PeerLock.
