Webfarm feature does not synchronize smart search index folders
The index is only refreshed on the server the content item was created or changed on.

RE:Webfarm feature does not synchronize smart search index folders
Hi,

Smart search indexes are included in web farm synchronization. Are there any other tasks which are not synchronized? Could you please send us to support@kentico.com your web farm servers configuration and also confirm that you have followed the documentation?

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Thanks for the reply!

I noticed that the synchronization tasks are not automatically started. When I have start the tasks manually it works. How can we start the tasks automatically? We have set the CMSWebFarmUpdateWithinRequest setting to true.

Thanks.

RE:Webfarm feature does not synchronize smart search index folders
Hi,

Are there any errors logged next to the tasks? Or in Site Manager -> Administration -> Event log? If so, could you please send us these errors?

Which version of Kentico CMS are you using?

Are you able to access all web farm servers using http://server1/cmspages/webfarmupdater.aspx and vice versa (if the servers are able to see each other)?

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Ah thanks, we were able to fix it.

The IIS bindings were changed on production, which caused the servers to be unreachable for eachother.

Thanks !

RE:Webfarm feature does not synchronize smart search index folders
Hmm, we are still having problems with webfarm synchronization. Most files are synchronized ok, but some are missing and some have a size of 0kb. So they are uploaded in the media library and have a normal size on the source server, but on the other webserver they have a size if 0 kb.

There are no errors in the eventlog and the webservers are able to reach eachother.

Ideas?

RE:Webfarm feature does not synchronize smart search index folders
Hi,

Very strange, I have never encountered this behavior before.


Are there any failed tasks in Web farms -> Tasks section? Are there any errors logged with the tasks here?
Are there any logs in the Windows Event viewer on both machines?
How big are the files which are not synchronized correctly?

Best regards,
