C-Gate 2.8 much slower to sync networks

[daniel]

Toolkit 1.11.1 has been released. Announcement here.

Changes relevant to this thread:

1. Fixed C-Gate regression for sites using the project.start= config option. The networks will now open immediately instead of after 15 minutes.

2. C-Gate will now sync up to 25 parallel networks at once (instead of 5). This should improve operations at CNI-centric installations.

Great, thanks! I will try when next on site (~1week)

How does this compare with the older version? I have 35 networks, presumably the other 10 will start as the first ones finish?

My objective, obviously, is to get all 35 networks in sync as quickly as possible. I appreciate that starting all 35 together is necessarily the best way to do that.

Connecting to a network in TK will disable background syncs because TK sets the network property autosync=no (it is the only client application to do this). The Scan button will then do a demand sync. This takes a minute or two and you'll see the progress in TK. So if you are only using TK, sync-time doesn't have any bearing on this case.

I am not sure whether use of C-Lution sets autosync back to yes or not. A lot depends on whether it connects before or after TK. This is a fairly important point which the logs will reveal.

Hi Daniel,

The section above raises the question in my simple mind - What does Schedule Plus / Homegate do in relation to autosync= setting ?
Thanks...

They use autosync. The sync period is defined in the C-Gate configuration file.

Just realised I wrote that wrong. Obviously (I hope) what I meant was:
