Odd Synchronization Question Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 16 Nov 06 9:13 AM

Hello,

If for some reason, bad sync due to versioning issues, a remote database has an account and the main database doesn't, what happens if the versioning issues are fixed and the remote user then updates the account. Does the main database throw away the update or does it request the rest of the information from the remote database?

Thank you,
Justin Kuehlthau

If an existing account is changed this will send an update statement to the host database. When the update statement is executed by the syncserver nothing will happen because there is no account in the host database to update.

Bottom line: the missing account will not appear in the host database.

In case you are interested, here's a way to "recover" the missing account so that it appears in all databases with all of its subordinate records.

In the database that still has the account:
1. Create a new account. I use the name of the "missing" account with " - NEW" appended so that I can keep them straight.
2. Be sure all fields in the new account are blank, other than name. If any fields default, like account status, set them to blank or . If a field is required, set it to the value of the corresponding field in the "missing" account.
3. If you care about the creation information, set the creation date/time and user in the new account to the values from the "missing" account. You'll have to run SQL statements (through the OLEDB provider) using the new account ID to do this. For example:
update account
set CREATEUSER = 'U6UJ9A00003F',
CREATEDATE = '2006-05-30 6:09 PM'
where ACCOUNTID = 'A6UJ9A0009KX'
You can get the user ID for CREATEUSER with:
select USERNAME, USERID from USERINFO where USERNAME = 'Thomas Pynchon'
The account ID is on the Details tab of the new account.
4. Merge the "missing" account into the new account.
5. Remove " - NEW" from the name of the new account.
6. Sync all around.

The "or" was supposed to be "or None if it is a pick list".

You might also want to check out the "Resynchronize Database" function in the Workgroup Admin.
