Forgive my newness, but I'm having great difficulty figuring out how to get Replistor to work properly on two test servers I have set up in our internal network. I've installed Replistor on both servers independently (testserver1, testserver2), and I tried setting up a File/Directory specification to copy a single directory from testserver1 to testserver2 via mirroring.
It will not work, and the process keeps pausing itself. I uncheck "pause" to start it up again, but it just pauses again, and nothing is copied.
Help! I have administrative access on both machines as far as I know.
Go to Maintenance -> Schedule Options and check if Pause Updates is scheduled to be enalbed.
Updating is only a function of the Target so if you are seeing these messages on the Source it may not be the cause here.
It may be normal not to see any traffic during an Inc Sync. An Inc Sync will only send over changes in the files and will only compare the Target with the Source files. If you run a Full Sync (Uncheck Inc) then you should see the traffic you are looking for.
After the Sync is completed, real-time replication (Mirroring) will be ocurring.
From what I saw in the logs, Pause Updates kept getting enabled. That hasn't happened yet today, but when I try to synchronize, the bytes transferred jumps up for a second then drops back down to 0.
I go to the secondary server, and nothing has been copied over.
Well I went through and did what you said, unchecked incremental to do a full synch.
It's only one file, so it shouldn't take long to move it over, but it isn't doing anything. The file never shows up on the secondary server (mdb file in C:\MyApps\)
I made sure it was on the right domain, and entered in the appropriate IP for both servers, as well as the correct administrative login. Then I created the definition that would just move everything from server 1 C:\MyApps\ to server 2 C:\MyApps, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I just spent over 2 hours working on configuring this with a colleague here who is in charge of our networking and server administration. We have been unable to get this program to work properly, and I'll be calling customer support tomorrow. Thank you for your help though.

Or do you mean Pause Updates keeps getting enabled via RepliStor?
