You can't open a data base that is out of sync and AUTOSYNC is OFF.
You can't issue an RBSYNC command if you are connected.
If you issue the RBSYNC command as:
RBSYNC dbfiles
it only checks them.
To sync them it must be as:
RBSYNC dbfiles EXECUTE
(If you already know all this, I apologize.)
If you have AUTOSYNC ON then my understanding is that the four dbfiles will be time stamped with the same date/time so that your can connect to your DB.
So I guess you are saying that your dbfiles get out of sync on a consistent basis.

Both my databases are continually out of sync even though I have AUTOSYNC ON
in my rbase.dat file. I have reported this and have never had an explanation
as to why this happens. Several times a week, I unload and recreate both
db's so there is no corruption involved, I don't think.

I had a customer where they had some network NIC problems and eventually I
had the RBSYNC as AUTOSYNC ON in the RBase config file. It worked, but you
are probably masking a problem where one or more user updates are not
getting the four RBfiles updated and time stamped properly. I.e., you could
be overlooking database corruption.

Anyone,
Where is the best place to put RBSYNC? Exiting or Connecting?
Thanks.
