PRB: Application Center 2000 Replication Logs Event 5079 and Creates Temporary Files with Names such as $0$.$r$ (815060)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Application Center 2000
  • Microsoft Application Center 2000 SP1
  • Microsoft Application Center 2000 SP2

SYMPTOMS

Files with names such as $n$.$r$ (where n is a number) may be created in replicated directories during Application Center 2000 replication. Application Center 2000 logs the following event:Event ID: 5079
Event Name: Replication Session DriverEvents UpdateListApply FileTempMoveFailed
Description: Synchronization could not rename file

CAUSE

When you perform automatic synchronization and a file is either modified while it is being replicated or the file is replicated by two different replication sessions at the same time, multiple threads may try to apply the same file on the target at the same time. When this occurs, one or more of the threads may fail because another thread may have locked the file. When files are applied, they are moved from $ACSRPL$ to their target directory with names such as $n$.$r$, and the files are then renamed to the original name. If the rename is unsuccessful, the files are left in the target directory with the $n$.$r$ name.

RESOLUTION

Full synchronization transfers the correct version of the file and deletes the $n$.$r$ file. Microsoft recommends that you do not run multiple deployments or synchronizations that involve the same files at the same time.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
