INTRODUCTION

This article describes the workspace data synchronization process that occurs in Groove Virtual Office and in Groove Workspace.

MORE INFORMATION

Synchronization of workspace data is an ongoing process. As soon as any online member of a workspace adds data to that workspace, updates are sent to the other workspace members on each of their computers. When you have an account that is shared across two computers, your changes are sent from one computer to another, just as they are sent to other members of the workspace.

You can determine whether there is incoming data or outgoing data associated with a workspace by looking at the workspace in Communications Manager. This method is sufficient when you want to monitor typical activity. However, a complete communications failure before the data is saved would also leave the remote computer unaware that there should be incoming data. The only way to make sure that your changes were delivered from one computer to another is to manually see whether the data is on each computer.
