[Zope] syncing two instances of zope

[Kevin Carlson]

You could use ZSyncer and set up a cron job to automate its calling either
through xmlrpc or httplib.  I'd personally use xmlrpc from a cron job.
We're doing this in several places and it works very well.  Something like
this:

  import xmlrpclib
  server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080/')
  server.someScript()

This script should call the ZSyncer object with the appropriate properties
set.  Take a look at the code for ZSyncer and you should be able to find
what you're looking for.

Subject: [Zope] syncing two instances of zope


Hi,
I have a setup where two machines are running identical instances of
zope and only one of them is active to the outside world via a firewall.
As and when one of them goes down the other is activated by the firewall
for the duration that the primary went down.

How do I keep these two instances in sync at all times ( mebbe a 10-15
min delay between syncs)??

I looked at ZSyncer but it seems I have to explicitely specify objects
to be synced.

TIA
AM
