I have an application that uses the Microsoft Sync Framework. I have read that it's possible to include and exclude certain files from the synchronization process. The application has done so with the id file with the following lines:
Dim filter As FileSyncScopeFilter = New FileSyncScopeFilter()
filter.FileNameExcludes.Add("*.id")
However, I have been having a lot of issues with the filesync.metadata file. One such error is as follows:
The metadata store replica is already in use.
With my experience I have just been having to delete the filesync.id and filesync.metadata files and rerunning the synchronization, which seems to work. Even after researching and looking into this topic I am still wondering about the metadata file:
Am I able just to exclude the filesync.metadata file to resolve my conflicts with that specific file?
What information is specifically stored within the metadata file?
best way is for you to locate both the .id and .metadata file to a folder location of the files you're trying to sync.
