Have the capability to STOP replication (synchronization)

Have the capability to STOP the replication (synchronization) between files servers and the master with only ONE Master Vault and with option "forceContentToVault" to "true".

SymptômesEven if you set properties "wt.fv.master.adhocCaching.flag" to "false" and "wt.fv.predictiveReplicationEnabled" to "0", there is always a synchronization appear every 3 hours which copy all new files from the Files Servers to the Master server.
Étapes à reproduire :We can imagine to have new property to stop synchronization. A future setting could be:

set « forceContentToVault » to avoid managing rules,
set « wt.fv.useFvFileThreshold » and « wt.fv.fvFileThreshold » to avoid managing folders,
set user preference vaulting to manage where files must be send between « master » and « Files Servers ». By default it is the "master.
set « wt.fv.master.adhocCaching.flag » to "0" to avoid adhoc replication,
create a new prop like « wt.fv.master.synchroDisabled » to "true" to stop synchronize every 3 hours
set « wt.fv.predictiveReplicationEnabled » to "false" to disable predictiveReplication.

Consequence: We know taht we have to manage backup properly between master and files servers because files are NOT on the Master site.

This new feature can simplify the capability to avoid synchronization between Files servers and Master. This feature is need for example for security reason. If you work across country and it is mandatory that parts created in a specific country MUST stay in this country. No replication to the Master site. Behind that there is a governemnt law to control that. I know it is possible for the moment by using several Masters vaults but it is complex to manage and you lost the capability to use the "forceContentToVault". unbelievable, we can't imagine that!

Hi Monfort,

Your are talking about two things here 1) Replication 2) CacheVaultSynchronization.

I have not tested this but you can give a try by updating the sysUpdateSyncInterval to 0 hours from JConsole. Probably Cache Vault synchronization would stop.

Hi Shashi,

Thanks for your reply, I will try this and let you know the result. Are you sure it is "for ever" and not during the time where Windchill is running but at the next restart the setting is lost ?

Regards,

Benoît.

Hi Benoit,

Yes this setting is a one time setting and will not reset back to default value of 3 hours.

Make a note here: Windchill has been desingned to deliver files if the user has access permission. Despite of setting this value to 0, if user tries to access file, Wiindchll has to deliver it.

Thanks,

Shashi
