Every time I do a manual replication to the root JDS it copies files from my file based master distribution server that are already there. The files that get re-copied seem to be random. Has anyone else encountered this strange behavior?
Thanks
Question
JDS manual replication bug?
+6
+16If you mean manual via clicking "replicate" through Casper Admin, then yes, I see the same strange behavior. My replication is worse, unfortunately, in that it won't ever successfully complete.
+8Has this ever been resolved? I have not heard back from support yet, but we have just installed a JDS instance, and am seeing this same behavior.
+17This behavior is caused by a defect; defect ID is D-007066 for reference.
It looks like the workaround is to not use Casper Admin for replication and to just allow the JDS to replicate automatically, or to use the manual replication method in this KB: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=351
If you already have a case open with your Technical Account Manager, it may be worth sending them a quick e-mail referencing that defect ID; it looks like it’s a fairly new one (as in it’s been open for about two hours at the time of my posting this), so they may not have been aware of it.
Thanks!
