Sync Status BimCollab

@Seba Does it happen on all the issues or only some? I solved this before when it was only on some issues, they had special characters in the title of the issue.

But this time it’s different, it’s all of the issues at once.

Seba

@dkdacv In some projects it is all of the issues.

@Seba Well if it’s not the special characters we have the same problem

Seba

@dkdacv The special charatcter problem, I also solved some time ago, and is not the case now, so it appears that we are suffering from the same issue

@dkdacv Could you send your debug logs? Do the following:

Open the .vmoptions file in the Solibri installation folder in a text editor
Add the following line:
-Dlogging_level=DEBUG
Save
Open Solibri
Duplicate the problem
Send the runtime.log file from the log folder

One issue I know of (no idea if this applies to you @dkdacv and @Seba), at least with Dalux (reported to both Solibri and Dalux a long time ago ) is that sync will be blocked when both the title and the description field are identical between multiple slide/BCF.

Only one issue will sync, all the others will not.

And about this:

@Seba said in Sync Status BimCollab:

And while on the subject of synchronizing, the connection to Dalux is "autenticate connection every 5-10 sec (really not fun). Also the filtering of issues with Dalux does not work correctly. If I filter for A it works for 10 sec, then after 10 sec everything else will also come to the BCF Live view in Solibri.

Totally agree. Today I worked 3h on BCF management. Solibri opened 700 authentification tabs. So I lost about 3s each time => about half an hour (!!!) and a lot of nerves.

Losing 15% of my time is not something I’m fond of.

The problem with Dalux authentication is identified and fixed in our next release. In the meanwhile, turn off BCF Live Connector, when you’re working on something else.

@Pasi-Paasiala thanks, that’s great!

Unfortunately this is not always a viable solution. I am only going through a lot of BCF, and filtering the query currently doesn’t work, so each time I connect I have to wait until hundreds (if not thousands) of comments are imported. So it will be often better to get along with the constant authentication rather than switching the live connector OFF and ON again.

I have 737 issues, and it takes 15mins on the latest version, really poor that this still is an issue in BIMCollab

The problem is probably that there are too many characters in the text (title or description—or both). I often encounter synchronization errors when too many elements are affected, as this usually results in the text/description being too long. Apparently, the maximum number of characters in BIMcollab is lower than in Solibri. In my opinion, this should be adjusted or reduced to prevent synchronization errors.
