Replication stop working when restarting vault server

[Rene-J]

Hi
I have some problem with replication with vault 2013 pro.
We have 1 publicher server and 2 subscriber server.
If we restart a subscriber server, the replication stop working for this server.
we have to open the ADMS consol on the restartet server, then the replication is woking again.
why is at this way ?

Verify that you SQL Agent service is set to start Automatically.  Replication relys on this not the ADMS Console being launched.

HI Tanks

I did some testing, the SQL Agent service is set to start Automatically, and is running after restarting server

but I discovered that  the Service "Autodesk Data Management Job Dispatch" was automat loadet but not started.

I try to start this service . then the replication is working.

Do you know to deal wit this.?

Rene...

The job dispatch is what makes the scheduled file replication go. For me, had similar issues on one subscriber server that this service would not always start. I just made it a habit that i check periodically and start it manually, specifically when rebooting a server. Without this service running, users will still get a pop up that says they don't have the latest files and can still force a replication when prompted, so they will always get the latest data, so it's not a show stopper. Just a nusiance.

Also, for what it's worth, if you perform a routine backup from the publisher, the publisher always performs a replication before it starts backing up. So, your publisher should pull all files from the subscribers before starting the backup. So, at least your publisher will replicate and you won't have to worry about that.
