How to use SiteSync in Windows Azure with different Azure St

Hi

I am developing a website for Windows Azure and we have separate Storage (Azure) locations on Test site & Production Site for Blob Objects (such as images & other files). We have also added custom Module with Images that stores image title, description, display order etc. 

Now when we edit any Description for any image on Test site or add new image on test site and try to use SiteSync to upload changes on Production Server. Then it fails.

However, I have checked If we use same Azure-Storage for Blobs on Test & Production then it works.

Any ideas how can I resolve this issue?

Thanks

Hi Amit,

Could you please check and ensure if the Publishing (Feeds and Notifications) module is enabled as there is bug related to similar issue logged on the feedback portal.

Hi SVETOSLAV,

I have publishing enabled, I can publish the content & pages, also "Feeds and Notifications" module is active, but I guess this has no relation with my issue.

In my case I can use SiteSync & it sync the content & changes successfully. But Problem occurs when I use SiteSync to sync the documents & images as they are assigned to different Azure Storages on Test site & Production site.

Thanks

Hello Amit,

External blob storage providers blob data is not synced by default (intended to be shared) – only the metadata. This can be overridden by setting to true the siteSyncBlobTransferEnabled parameter on blob storage provider or blob storage provider type level in the configuration.

Please navigate to:
Administration -> Settings -> Advanced settings -> Libraries -> Blob storage -> Blob storage providers -> <your Azure provider> -> parameters,
then add siteSyncBlobTransferEnabled as new parameter and set its value to true. When this new parameter is set please restart application by re-saving web.config or recycle application pool.

Hi, 

Plz. check the images attached for Azure Storages settings. 

I have tried the steps you mentioned. But I get the following error:  

Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.MissingProviderConfigurationException: There is no configuration for data provider with the name of "cmsmain" for "Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Libraries.BlobStorage.BlobStorageManager" manager. Please check the spelling of the name and whether such configuration exists.

Hi Amit,

Please check and ensure the correct name of the provider. Please also check if the provider is correctly registered.

Furthermore, please try to register the both providers with one and the same name, as the sync process needs to have identical configurations. In case of different providers - they could not be synced.
