Aborting sync with an exception throw RRS feed

    Sorry - I asked this question in the SyncFrameworkToolkit forum as well. This forum seems to be more active.

    Hi,

    I would like to be able to Abort a sync operation based on a number of factors determined server side.

    For example, if the sync user has not authenticated or has been 'disabled' (from syncing), or if the sync scope is 'down for maintenance'.

    I have played around with the SyncRequestInterceptor to throw an exception to successfully abort the sync operation, however I cannot see a way of getting any meaningful information about why the sync was aborted back to the client.

    I have found this post: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/uk-UA/synclab/thread/9678137b-914a-4b26-8ce6-bac5df662f60 asking a similar question a few years ago.

    Apologies if this has been answered, or if I have missed something obvious. (I am quite new to this!)

    Thanks for any help.

    have you tried setting UseVerboseErrors to true?

    as a side note, why dont you just make a separate call outside of the sync to check if the sync should be allowed or not? (i.e, write a separate service method to call from the client)

    Hi JuneT, many thanks for your suggestions.

    Yes I already have UseVerboseErrors set to true.

    Yes, we did consider that approach of using another service call to allow/disallow the sync, so that may be an appropriate solution for us. It just would have been nice if it could have been handled in the interceptors also.

    handling it via interceptors would have been a more expensive operation as by then Sync Fx would have fired unnecessary queries for metadata...
