Note
- Files marked as "synchronized" in the rightmost column are synchronized among all DMAs in the cluster every day at midnight (00:00). Therefore, it is of great importance that the time settings of all DMAs in the cluster are synchronized as well. For more information, see How do I synchronize time settings within a DMS?
- The Services folder contains the services hosted on the DataMiner Agent. Services hosted on other DMAs are synchronized with subfolders of the folder
C:\Skyline DataMiner\RemoteServices. Each of these subfolders has the DMA ID of the DMA it is synchronized with.
