Tracing file propagation activity

You can find file "sync" activity (success/failure, per file) in the idmsuite.log. Look for entries logged by:

  • The updinst utility.

  • idfilerep on the receiving node end (by default listening on port 2380). See idfilerep entries in the secondary nodes’ idmsuite.log that handles placing those files in their correct locations.

  • updproxy on proxy servers. Check its entries on the primary node's log. The receiving end is the proxy entries in the proxy log.

    Unlike updinst , which replicates with parallel threads, updproxy updates serially, one file at a time, so it can take much longer to update an application proxy than a node, especially the first time the proxy is added or when the updproxy is forced to send all files.

    However, updinst is used on the primary node for retrieving log files from both secondary nodes and application proxy servers.
