Sync all vaults in offline mode
0 vote
Hi!
Currently, the offline cache only updates when the vault is opened. When a vault has never been opened or the cache has expired, it is not available offline. It would be useful to have all vaults available and up-to-date (from the last data source connection) regardless of when/if you have used them before.
Erica showed me this option "Prompt refresh all vaults on startup" in RDM System Settings → Application Specific → Cache/Offline. (Why is this not available in DVLS Web?)
That is a valid workaround, but it seems a little bit janky 🙂
It opens two prompts (one should be enough) and then you need to wait and watch while it switches through all vaults one by one.
I'd much prefer the synchronization happening in the background automatically.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
The current "refresh all vaults" is a workaround (read hack) that we put together until we can get true vault refresh done in the background. As to why you get two prompts baffles me, I will investigate.
I believe we are at the point where background refresh is actually implementable with all the changes we've made over the last few releases. The feature request is already in our backlog, I will push to get included in a future sprint. The current sprint ends next week (release on the 31st, in theory) and the next sprint is already set so it will have to wait, at a minimum, until the one after that. FYI we are currently running 3 sprints per year (might be 4 soon).

Alright, Thank you!
Hi!
Instead of the server side "Prompt refresh all vaults on startup" option, is there a function in RDM to manually trigger that?
The prompt on every start of RDM is a workaround, but it might be too much. If there was a "Refresh all vaults" button in the RDM menu, that could be useful too. Then users could do it themselves without any server side configuration.
Thanks,
Daniel
