3175.0. "Forced DDS synch?" by HGOVC::CECILIACHENG () Thu Mar 06 1997 04:21

    
    
    Is there any where to force a DDS synchronization with a specific node?
    
    Thanks & Rgds,
    Cecilia

    Huh? What do you mean by "a DDS synchronization"?

3175.3But what's the problem?ZUR01::ASHGGrahame Ash @RLEFri Mar 07 1997 08:2014
Hi Cecilia,

DDS updates happen automatically. What makes you think you have to do 
anything - what is the problem you're seeing?

Perhaps a node has been down, and DDS is still processing updates which have 
been queued?

Are there any entries in the DDS logfile on the affected systems?

If you describe the problem you have, it should be easier to advise you what 
to do.

3175.4No immediate problem, just on customer wishlistHGOVC::CECILIACHENGTue Mar 11 1997 08:2512
    Hello Grahame,
    
    Customer has no immediate problem, they sometimes feel that there are
    some discrepancy in the DDS database  but as they have very tight
    resources, they don't have time to trace the problem, they just wish to
    have the control to force an update when required.
    
    Thanks & Rgds,
    Cecilia

    It's still not clear what you mean. For example, are the discrepancies
    between the cache on a non-WSnode and the master copy on it's owning
    node? Is the discrepancy between the contents of a particular WS-node
    and the master copies on a particular node (or a variety of nodes)?
    
    When they want to 'force an update' what is/are the source(s) and the
    targets for the update? For example to repopulate a particular WS-node
    from all the other nodes in the network, using MBMAN on the Master node
    to toggle WS-node status will do the trick. To repopulate ALL the WSnodes 
    with the contents of a particular DDS node, delete and rejoin the node.
    
    How to do what they want is a function of what they want to 'fix'.
