I've just created my first real replicated device. It works great except that if I stop and restart the HouseBot server on the source PC the connection doesn't successfully reconnect (I was testing to make sure this is pretty robust).
On the source server I get this message in the Error Log:
Code: Select all
Unable to find Device [[Matching Description of Remote Device to Mirror]] for replication
And on the server with the replicated device I get this error:
Code: Select all
connect() failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
followed by this error:
Code: Select all
Unable to Replicate device with description [VPL-VW100] because the device does not exist on the remote Meedio HouseBot server.
If I go to the replicated device and toggle the "Connection Enabled" property (set it to "No", then immediately set it to "Yes") I get this message in the error log:
Code: Select all
The Replicator Device [*rÐö î @ö ðù] has [2] pending Change Request that are lost due to the device being disabled.
but then everything works correctly again. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong? I tried looking directly in the database but I couldn't find any clues about how replication works.
