HRefresh on Production Model projects

[Jarus Bosman]

Good day,

I have a number of projects which I created from the supplied Production Model template.

I have agents running on multiple servers that host reference directories. My problem is this:

The users of the project want absolute certainty that their reference directories are 100% in sync with Harvest. I have my HRefresh.cfg set up to synchronize each Harvest state (Development, Merge, Test, Staging and Production) with its corresponding reference directory.

However,

I've just come to realise that any branch versions that have been promoted to the Merge state, for example, would not be synchronized with the development reference directory during HRefresh or HSync, since it is outside of the Development view (which it shares with the production state and is actually called "Production"). That would make my development reference directory outdated when the Development state's trunk version is synchronized.

Is there a trustworthy way to synchronize my entire Harvest repository to the relevant reference directories?

Thank you in advance,

Jarus

Hi Jarus,

Thanks for joining the call today.

As discussed in the call ,you may try to merge the branch versions in the Development state using Merge process(Concurrent Merge) process and then continue to be in sync with the Development reference directories.

Please do try this and let us know if you have further questions.
