Which PC is the master for purposes of Sync?

There are thousands of posts here for how to set up and troubleshoot Sync but none i can find that tell me how it actually works and how to control the sync process from a master/slave standpoint.
I have an old XP box that I'm replacing with a new Lenovo, plus a Dell XPS laptop that I'll be continuing to use. I want the laptop and the Lenovo to mirror the FF settings on the old XP desktop that I'm retiring. But the changes are flowing in all directions; things I set up on the Lenovo are populating back to the XP.
How do I flag the XP box as the master so its config will flow to the other two machines?

<<Then once you retire the XP. You will need to choose one of the other machines as the main one. >>
How do I choose the main one? I have read many of the docs and never found a hint about this.
Setting up Sync has been very difficult. The system messages are unclear...it's not even possible to know if a machine is set up unless you know the "secret" about seeing "Set Up Sync" on the menu. Might be logical to the developer but not to this end-user.
Last night I was running back and forth for hours trying to set it up on my PC's. My notes include six sets of 12-character codes and one of those long password strings. When the link-up fails, there's no error message.
Last night I renamed the whole feature "Firefox Stync" I was so frustrated. Who designed this anyway? Pardon the rant but it obviously was not tested by end-users, judging from the huge volume of questions it generates.

  • Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time

    Hi,
    Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time, and the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger. The transfer bytes per second between master and slave is 118MB/s , upper limit to the ethernet card. Why???
    ENVIRONMENT:
    1. A network program which we called mcdb is based on BDB 4.8.30. It is used to accept get/set requests and then query data from bdb or save data to bdb.
    2. mcdb implements replication with bdb replication manager api. The default start replication policy is DB_REP_ELECTION, rep ack policy is DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER and rep priority is 100.
    3. The bdb data files, bdb log files, region files and rep files are all in the same home directory.
    4. There are two instances of the mcdb are separately on two standalone servers which has no other programs. These two instances are in one replication group which can elect a master automatically.
    5. The master instance is online, which has lots of requests (get, set, delete).
    ACTIONS:
    1. Start two mcdb instances on two servers and the two instance make a replication group. Slave has already synchronized with the master.
    2. Stop the slave for a long time (more than 20 hours).
    3. Start the slave instance to synchronize data with master.
    RESULT:
    1. the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger.
    2. db_stat of master and slave:

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this issue is beyond the level of what is supported over the forum. Performance related issues are extremely complex and require an in-depth understanding of your environment and dedicated support. In a generic sense, you can look at this as a basic queueing problem. You have a server that went down and work is still coming in. When the server gets started it is possible that it may never catch up depending on new work coming in and the rate at processing the old work.
    So what would you do in this case --- one thing would be to reduce the new work coming in. In HA terms this would be slowing the master down and you can increase DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT for this. Another thing you could do is add fresh servers to help reduce the workload. In HA terms, this would be the equivalent of restarting the client and give it a fresh look at everything. Another thing you could do is replan the system and load balance. In HA terms, it would mean something like take a hot backup of the master and reinit a client from scratch.
    If you are interested in getting a dedicated support person working on this concern, please let me know and we can move forward down that path. Just respond to the thread with your email address and I will get in contact with you so we can pursue that approach.
    thanks

  • After completed as an MBA HR & System, Which module is the best for freshers ??

    Hi,  I am Samrat Saha. I completed my post graduation as an MBA (HR&System). I did BCA in my graduation and did Higher secondary in commerce. I want to build my career in SAP. But I have some questions::
    1. If i go for SAP then which module is the best for me..??
    2. As a fresher is companies showing any interest to recruit..??
    3. I hard a Course from Victoria University, Melborn, That Is "Master of Business (Enterprise Resource planning System) with SAP".. Is this Master degree worthy to do??
    Message was edited by: Sarah Kellman

    Hello Samrat,
    It is not possible to provide guidance on what career path you should take.  This is a conversation you need to have with a Career Planner or perhaps one of your professors.  You should follow the path you are most interested in, be it a functional role or a technical role.  Ideally you may want to consider getting some work experience in both fields, and then determine which area you wish to pursue.
    You state you have an MBA in HR & System....System what??  System development? Technology?  Programming?  Data Warehousing?  Even HR is a vast area within the SAP world.  We have Payroll, Recruiting, Self Services, Compensation, Time Management, Learning Management Systems, etc.  Most consultants select one or two areas to pursue.  There is no such thing as a single person who knows the complete SAP HR solution...it's just too big!
    I will suggest that you consider taking an SAP HR course so that you can get an idea as to how large the application is.  There are lots of courses available in e-learning.  I would recommend either SAPHRE or HR050E to start.  Once you have completed one of these, you'll be in a better position to decide what you want to do, or at least decide what you don't want to do.
    Good Luck!

  • Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

    Hi
    I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
    From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
    Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

  • On iPhoto you can click info and see which camera was the source for the photograph, is there any way to identify which camera took the video on iMovie?

    Is there a way to determine which camera was the source for video clips in iMovie?  You can do this in iPhoto by clicking info but I can't find out how to do it in iMovie.

    Not as far as I know.  (you can often tell from the file name format).

  • I am considering getting an iphone...  Which model is the best for me to get?

    I am considering getting an iphone... I do not care about getting the "latest gadget", but have all apple products and would love the convenience of the calendar, music, camera, etc... on my phone. Which model is the best for me to get?
    Is it really worth it for the newest (and most expensive) model, or is the 3G sufficient for regular use? or is the 4 now the most basic model I should invest in? or do I really have to get the 4S?

    I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

    i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset.  I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

  • Which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming?

    I have many novels saved under *.htm, doc and pdf.
    I'm using Quick Office, but when I zoom in, I have to slide the screen from side to side just to watch the whole things, which make my eyes feel very tired.
    So I need your help about which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming, I mean, when you zoom in, you just have to slide vertically to see the whole documents, and don't have to slide horizontally.

    All running on Wine 1.1.7, Oblivion is running around 150 mods, and QTP3, Body mods, High res texture packs for the character skins, with HDR lighting. As you can see the FPS does not change, it fluctuated between 19-20 on all three runs.
    Especially with Dual cores, you will find that games do not loose FPS even with things like a lightweight music player running in the background. Windows scheduler simply was not made for that kind of thing, and benifits alot more from a lower number of background processes. I wont say linux does not benifit, but with Dual cores and CFS, it is not really noticable anymore.
    Wait, does that mean you have better performance while you are running more stuff? Does the desktop manager handle graphics better?
    This really did confuse me...

  • My FP-2000 creates a file but cannot write any more in this file. Which can be the cause for it?

    I create files on my FP-2000 to save data .
    This application functioned very well before ; but now without apparent reason, the file is created without error but the writing is impossible. The cluster of error at the exit of VI "Write File" indicates code 6: "Warning 6 occurred at an unidentified location. Possible reasons: LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error."
    Which could be the reason for it?
    Could my FP-2000 be damaged (flash memory)?

    I have almost the same problem. I'am logging data with my cFP 2020. Writing to the flash of 2020 or to the external compact flash port.
    For some reason the cFP returns a Generic file I/O error after quite a while. And it's not that I'm running out of free space.
    Anyone got some ideas?

  • HT204150 Which contacts are the "master copy"

    Hi all, when updating my contacts on my iphone / mac or ipad, which ones become the master copy?. The reason I ask is each time i edit a name on my iPhone it reverts back to the previous edit when I use that contact to send an e mail from my mac?. Does this mean that the way the contact is listed on my mac is the master copy?.
    Any ideas
    Cheers

    I am having the same problem - across 4 computers and 6 iOS devices all synced to the same iCloud account. It just started happening last week. If I edit a card on any device and click Done, it appears to save the edits...but within 60 seconds it reverts back to the old data - AND it adds the edited info in a new field. So if I edit a person's home phone number, it will revert back to the old phone number AND add the new edited phone number in a second Home Phone field. Does the same thing with addresses and email addresses. Needless to say it is making a mess of our address book and I'm at a loss. I will try systematically taking devices offline to see if the problem persists as I remove various iPhones and computers from the picture. I called Apple Support but got a guy who was actually more clueless than me.

  • How do I change which application is the (default) for a given file type?

    For .pdf files, I have set the application behaviour to "Always Ask", because sometimes I want to open the pdf, sometimes I want to save it. So far so good.
    Now, when I want to open the .pdf, I have added an application to the dropdown list, so now I have "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" and "okular".
    The problem is this: I *never* open using Adobe Reader. I always want to use okular, but Adobe Reader always appears first on the list, as it is the 'default'. This means I always have to click on the dropdown and select "okular", i.e. an extra step every time I want to open a pdf.
    How do I change which application is the default?

    Yes, I know that. That was the first sentence of my question, but it is not the problem I have.
    I want to change which application is the (default) for a given file type, and this cannot be done from the settings.
