Run

Allows you to Launch the Current Profile, Terminate the Active Profile and Update the Current Profile.

Note: An active Profile must be restarted in order for any configuration changes to take effect.

Launch Current Profile

This feature will launch the current Profile (Job/Global settings) in PeerSync. During this process, an instance of PeerSync will be started with the current Profile as the first parameter and the arguments selected from the Options/Commands screen as the subsequent parameters. You can automate this process via a shortcut, through the startup folder, in the registry or as a service by selecting one of these features from the Startup Services screen. This feature is also accessible from the Tool Buttons Toolbar.

Terminate Active Profile

This option, when available, will allow a user to terminate an instance of PeerSync that contains an active Profile which is connected to the Profiler. This feature is also accessible from the Tool Buttons Toolbar.

Update Current Profile

This option, when available, will allow a user to update an instance of PeerSync with the current Profile opened in the Profiler.

Restart Active Profile

This option, when available, provides intelligent restart functionality that eliminates/improves scanning upon PeerSync service/application restart. This greatly improves performance during a restart (most commonly due to profile changes, but also for any other reason).

Pre-Sync Report

This executes a pre-sync report of the currently selected Jobs. During this process, files and folders will not be modified and persistent arguments set for the current Profile will be ignored. A report will be created and displayed with the work that would be performed if a synchronization was actually run. This feature may be quite helpful during evaluation and when running and testing a newly modified Profile. Pre-Sync Report options are as follows:

Run a Pre-Sync Report (do not sync files/folders)

Starts PeerSync to analyze the work that would be performed if synchronization was actually run. During this process files and folders will not be modified. The report file, PreSync.Log, will be displayed at the end of the run.

Overwrite existing Pre-Sync report files

Enabled by default, this setting overwrites the PreSync.Log file when the Pre-Sync process completes.

Show Pre-Sync report file at end of run

Enabled by default, this setting will open and display the PreSync.Log report file after the Pre-Sync process completes.

Reprocess Failed Events

This option, when available, will allow for Failed Files to be processed. Failed Files are files that have failed to be replicated/synchronized possibly due to Retries being turned off or exceeded.

Reprocess Failed Scans

This option, when available, will allow for Failed Scans to be processed. Failed Scans will only occur if a scan is interrupted or cannot run and the Retry failed connection every x minutes option is disabled.
