Instead of trying to second guess how long syncs will take between TIERs why not have a cascaded sync where higher TIER servers contact the lower TIER servers after they have completed their own syncs. Thus using all the available time you have available.
Sounds good! This would also save time on part of the Admin who generally has to orchestrate the entire Sync process.
I was wondering how feasible a cascaded sync would be from perspective of control that an Admin would have over the sync process since it may potentially overlap the production hours?
Gowhar.
My collegue created a cascading DMA process. his description is "Runs dmabatch.exe on the Core server to sync the related production environment. Passes the -dmastats-userid as CASCADE_%COMPUTERNAME% and -domains as "*". The -dmastats-userid value is used by DMASTATS rexx to determine which Satellites to launch SatSync.tcl on."
We created a scheduled task on the Core server an wrote some custom lines into the satsync.tcl.
