Change History | Import From DB File rule

  • Updated

Rule description

This rule imports change history records from the subscriber database files to the publisher database files.

 

When to use this rule

Cayosoft Administration Services can be combined for a load balancing and fault tolerance as a replication group. For more information, please see the High availability & replication article.

All records related to change history are stored on the same service where the operation is performed and are not replicated. For example, if delegated administrator performs reset password operation on a Subscriber 1, he can see the record about this operation only in the change history in Web Portal connected to Subscriber 1. Other subscribers and publisher service don't know about this operation.

Starting with Cayosot Administrator Service 6.x version, the database on publisher service becomes a single database to store change history records and work items for the entire replication group. All requests from subscriber services to perform CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) are redirected to publisher service. Databases that store change history on subscribers are not used anymore. Thus, the administrator has access to change history records and work items regardless of which service he is connected.

Use this rule after upgrade to 6.x version to import change history records from subscriber service to publisher service:

  1. When you already have the replication group configured in your environment
  2. When you are going to configure the replication group

This rule copies change history records from all subscriber services databases to publisher service database.

To get access to change history records and work items and to record new changes publisher service must be always available.
