Help Cannot Synchronise Remote Files Automatically Hello, Mohammed. I am not sure whether I have understood correctly, but let's try to help you.
The behaviour of SJ is quite similar to Microsoft Visual Source Safe's or Source Off Site's, so you'll probably find better explanations on the web about their behaviour than mine (probably, in SJ's help). If you just have a client, client and server files will always be in sync as long as you check them in. While checked out, you can modify them in the client, and while that happens they are out of sync with the server ones, as the server only gets the changes when you check the file back in. Checked in implies secured and read-only, and to modify a repository file you must check it out and edit it in the client. To return it to the repository with the changes, you check it in. If you have more than one client, then it is a bit trickier. The repository versions are the ones that should be considered as "the good ones", and clients must explicitly update their versions by downloading them. If noone downloads (gets) a version of a file, the only client that will be in sync with the repository will the the last one that checked it in. Apart from doing a get, a version is also updated (in a single client) if you check it out, as you are supposed to modify the its latest version. So, as said above, you must explicitly update the each client files, which is alright, though cumbersome. Fortunately, SJ provides you a visual way to know which files are out of sync in a client, and you can update all the files by recursively getting a folder. SJ is clever enough to download only those files that are out of sync with the server. Hope this helps, Albert. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mohammed Malik To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 11:35 AM Subject: [SourceJammer-users] Help Cannot Synchronise Remote Files Automatically Hello, I have just started using SourceJammer, so please forgive the newbie question. I have set up my SourceJammer server as per the docs on a remote server. I have then set up SourceJammer client to point to a local directory on my local PC. I can get files and check out files without any problems. After I check the files back in my SourceJammer client shows me that both the local and remote PC's are in sync (=). When I check the client on the remote server the file are shown as (!) out of sync. When I check the file differences this shows me my new updates. Can someone please tell me how I can make sure the 2 files are kept in sync without me having to do a get file action on the server ? What happens if I change several files in different directories, do I have to sync each file on the server ? Thank you for any help you can provide.
