Sync Issues

[beermenow]

To be honest I am not quiet sure what had happened but none the less I created a new remote database from the master file. Unpacked/restored then sync and it works fine.

Long story short I had a ton of changes I made to the old db so I have to re-import 15000k of changes made to it then merge it with the new one that was unpacked and restored and when I try to sync it give me an error message of "Unable to check if schema is available for sync. synchronization timed out. contact your administrator for assistance

I have used act diag to rebuild/repair the schema and sync still nothing.. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hopefully it makes sense.. it's late

I would have merged the changes into the Publisher database before creating the new RDB. Much better that way that sending an entire database back and forwards via sync.

Also, you didn't say what version of ACT!

Act 2007 Latest Version.

Glad that made sense to you. I was up late watching Saw . You are saying upload a copy of the old db to the server.. merge it then unpack it again?

 

[GLComputing]

Yup, that's what I'd do

It's a shame I never thought of that.. thanks so much for some outside of the box thinking. Any guess why that error message occurred though? Also how is the latest and greatest act? Worth it?

Either there is an issue with the data you're importing or it's just so large that the xfer is failing.

ACT! 2010 is faster and better in every way. Yes, it's worth it
