Synchronize Job Data (Workflow Manager)

Summary

Synchronizes multiple Workflow Manager (Classic) repositories participating in a Workflow Manager (Classic) cluster. The tool performs two-way synchronization; changes from the child repositories are sent to the parent repository and changes from the parent are sent to all child repositories.

You must have ArcGIS Workflow Manager (Classic) Server installed and configured across all participating nodes to run this tool.

Usage

• This tool can only be used for connected child repositories. For disconnected child repositories, you can use the Export Job Data and Import Job Data tools.

• The changes from all child repositories are sent to the parent repository for consolidation. These consolidated changes, along with changes made in the parent repository, are then sent to all the child repositories in the cluster.

• The parent and child Workflow Manager (Classic) services must be online to synchronize changes.

Parameters

Dialog

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Parent Repository URL	The URL for the parent repository will be the Workflow Manager (Classic) server URL, for example, http://localhost/arcgis/rest/services/parent/wmserver.	String
Parent Repository Name	The parent repository that will distribute the Workflow Manager (Classic) jobs and configuration elements.	String
Child Repository Names and URLs	The child repositories that will be updated with the parent repository configuration. To add a child repository, provide the repository name and click the Add button. After adding the child, enter values for Connected, URL, and Last Sync Time as follows: Connected—The only accepted value is true. If any other value is provided, the child will not be synchronized. URL—The URL of the child repository. Last Sync Time—The date and time in the system format. For example, if your system data and time format is MM:DD:YY HH:MM:SS, the value will be 08/01/2013 11:30:45.	Value Table

Derived Output

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Status of Replica Synchronization	The result of the synchronization operation. Returns 0 if successful.	Long
Last Synchronized	A table view of job synchronization information.	Value Table

Python

arcpy.wmx.SynchronizeJobData(Input_Parent_Repository_URL, Input_Parent_Repository_Name, Input_Multi_Name)

Name	Explanation	Data Type
Input_Parent_Repository_URL	The URL for the parent repository will be the Workflow Manager (Classic) server URL, for example, http://localhost/arcgis/rest/services/parent/wmserver.	String
Input_Parent_Repository_Name	The parent repository that will distribute the Workflow Manager (Classic) jobs and configuration elements.	String
Input_Multi_Name [[child_repository, connected, URL, last_sync_time],...]	The child repositories that will be updated with the parent repository configuration. child_repository—The name of the child repository. This must be a connected repository. connected—The only accepted value is "true". If any other value is provided, the child will not be synchronized. URL—The URL of the child repository. last_sync_time—The date and time in the system format. For example, if your system data and time format is MM:DD:YY HH:MM:SS, the value will be 08/01/2013 11:30:45.	Value Table

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
Output_SynchronizeReplicaStatus	The result of the synchronization operation. Returns 0 if successful.	Long
Output_LastSync	A table view of job synchronization information.	Value Table

Code sample

SynchronizeJobData example (stand-alone script)

In this example, changes made in the Workflow Manager (Classic) repositories are synchronized between two repositories.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check out any necessary licenses
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("JTX")

# Local variables:
Input_Parent_Repository_URL = "http://ServerName/arcgis/rest/services/ServerObjectName/WMServer"
Input_Parent_Repository_Name = "Redlands_Repository"
Input_Multi_Name = "Ohio_Repository true http://ohioServer/arcgis/rest/services/SO/WMServer 2011-08-08 12:00;AZ_Repository true http://AZServer/arcgis/rest/services/SO/WMServer 2011-08-08 12:00"

# Process: Synchronize Job Data
arcpy.SynchronizeJobData_wmx(Input_Parent_Repository_URL, 
                             Input_Parent_Repository_Name, 
                             Input_Multi_Name)
