Server Plugins SyncSchedule

The synchronization schedule can be configured in speclog.server.exe.config:

<section name="pluginSynchronizationSettings" type="TechTalk.SpecLog.Server.PluginSynchronizationSettingsSection, SpecLog.Server" />

  <!-- Optional: configures plugin synchronization schedule & batch size; default: '5:1:30:100' -->
  <!-- the values are: <idle wait time>:<success wait time>:<failure wait time>:<batch size> (sec:sec:sec:int) -->
  <pluginSynchronizationSettings default="5:1:30:100">
      <!-- special settings for TFS synchronization plugins -->
      <add key="TechTalk.TFSSync" value="60:15:300:100" />
  </pluginSynchronizationSettings>

The individual parameters govern how long the plugin waits (in seconds), until checking again for new updates and trying to synchronize pending changes:

• idle wait time: when there were no new updates found previously
• success wait time: when updates have been applied successfully previously
• failure wait time: when there were updates, but the synchronization failed for some reason (e.g. target server is temporarily not reachable)
• batch size: The maximum number of commands that are requested from the server in one synchronization round. Consecutive updates received for a single requirement within a single batch are squashed down to a single update when synchronized to the target system.

You can configure a default synchronization schedule, and a specific schedule for each individual synchronization plugin. For example, the following element adds a specific schedule for the TechTalk.TFSSync plugin: <add key="TechTalk.TFSSync" value="60:15:300:100" />
