Problem with synchronize command

Hi,

 

When i use the BIGIP GUI to do a config sync or if i do a "b config sync all", everything works fine.

 

I tried to do the same thing with iControl. I have the following code:

 

static void Main()

 

{

 

iControl.Interfaces my_interface = new iControl.Interfaces();

 

my_interface.initialize("172.29.4.206", "admin", "admin");

 

my_interface.SystemConfigSync.synchronize_configuration(iControl.SystemConfigSyncSyncMode.CONFIGSYNC_ALL);

 

Console.Write("Done");

 

}

 

Pretty basic. Hopefully without any mistake !

 

The configuration of the BIGIP is almost empty (2 pools and that's it) and the problem is that the operation Timeout:

 

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out

 

at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest

 

request)

 

at System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpWebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequ

 

est request)

 

at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodN

 

ame, Object[] parameters)

 

at iControl.SystemConfigSync.synchronize_configuration(SystemConfigSyncSyncMo

 

de sync_flag) in D:\src\perforce\DevCentral\DC4\Labs\iControlAssembly\dotnet\iCo

 

ntrol\Interfaces\System\SystemConfigSync.cs:line 328

 

at Test.Main() in C:\Documents and Settings\menant\My Documents\Visual Studio

 

2008\Projects\Easynet\Exercice1\Program.cs:line 20

 

I've done the test with 9.4.3, 9.4.4, 9.4.5 and 946. Always the same problem

 

I've checked the release notes and found nothing about it.

 

Am i missing something like a specific call to do before this one ?

 

Thanks for your support

    Just as a test, have you tried iControl.SystemConfigSyncSyncMode.CONFIGSYNC_BASIC to see if it errors out?

     

     

    There's a LOT more data synched in CONFIGSYNC_ALL than CONFIGSYNC_BASIC, might help us narrow down your problem.

    Yes i tried the BASIC but just with version 9.4.6 and it seems to face the same problem.

    Sorry I'm doing this in baby steps, just want to narrow it down...

     

     

    Can you check the return value from the initialize call? It should be returning boolean true. If it's not, you're not connecting to the BIG-IP.

     

     

    Thanks,

 static void Main() 
 { 
  
         iControl.Interfaces my_interface = new iControl.Interfaces(); 
         my_interface.initialize("172.29.4.90", "admin", "admin"); 
  
 //        my_interface.SystemConfigSync.synchronize_configuration(iControl.SystemConfigSyncSyncMode.CONFIGSYNC_BASIC); 
         Console.Write("Done, connected Status -> " + my_interface.initialized.ToString()); 
     } 
 }

     

     

    Here is a code i tested to show i'm connected to the BIGIP. Here is the output:

     

     

     
 C:\Documents and Settings\menant\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Easy\Exercice1\bin\Debug>Exercice1.exe 
 Done, connected Status -> True
