We have some servers with "slow" connections due to some political site link
connections times. What I believe is happening is that the replication window is not
sufficient to propagate all the changes, and when the changes reach to the box, the
files it's expecting to change are no longer there.
Ultrasound reports these as "Sharing Violations" due to the fact they are in
IBCO_INSTALL_RETRY. It assume a process is holding them open, when in fact they are
not.
The question is how do I clear these out of the ntfrs db to ignore those changes?
One article I found (and can't refind!) suggested clearing the connection on the
server, and restarting FRS service to clear the entries. This worked for a few
servers, but it seems those with manual connections it will not clear the inlog.
Anyone know a better way? Or if anything, where to find more documentation? the
ntfrsutl I would expect to maybe have a switch to clear entries like this, but it does
not.
I have entries dating back to 2002....ugh...
Here is an example of 1 inlog result. I have this on 80 some servers. Notice the old
dates, and 0'd out info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am having reservation on moving forward
with a 2003 upgrade, until FRS is happy.
