SQX_137 - Auto-Sync in Databank Bug

Hi SQX Team
I updated to SQX_137 last week. Very similar to my previously reported Bug ID sqx_010306, I am having serious problems with the functioning of ‘Auto-Sync’ in Databank. In fact, Auto-Sync performance in SQX_137 is now far worse than previously reported for SQX_137_RC4. Even though I have set:

  • Configuration (see screenshot): Default Auto-Sync Interval = Auto-sync every 10-minutes; Repeatedly applied “Apply to all existing databanks”
  • Verified that in the Project (see screenshot): Databank synchronisation type = Auto-sync every 10 minutes; Repeatedly applied “Sync to files now”, Each time generating a Green ‘Success - Details: Strategies saved” notice (see screenshot), but I can find no saved files in the project folder.

SQX_137 has mostly (>90% of time) failed to create a ‘databanks’ project sub-folder within the associated project folder ‘C:\StrategyQuantX\user\projects\[project name]\’. (see typical screenshot from Windows Explorer). Thereby, not auto-saved any of the created SQX strategy files, resulting in the complete loss of all strategies if I close SQX_137, without manually saving the created strategy files first.
I have tested this issue on both my SQX PC’s and this bug persists on both PC’s.
Please see attached copy of:

Typical project file that I have used, that has repeatedly failed to create the above mentioned ‘databanks’ project sub-folder.

Please can you investigate a resolve this bug asap.

Hi SQX Team

I have identified a temporary work-around to this bug:


1. Add your project(s) to Custom Projects list

2. Close SQX

3. Upon Re-Lauch of SQX 'databanks' are created for each project in the Custom Projects list

4. Run Custom Projects: databanks are populated as usual, as per Auto-Sync setting


Obviously this is not ideal, but it seems to work for now.

This is probably why I saw a few instances of databanks created: I had Closed and Re-Launch SQX, not initially realising that the project databanks were being created upon SQX Re-Launch.

Please can you fix this bug for next up-issue.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting the issue. I found the bug and fixed it.


Databank folders are created upon first synchronization.


AC1962, your work-around is correct ::thumbs up


UPDATE: since version 137 final, every sync is logged with details about the changes made during the sync process. 

09:19:37 Databank 'BB/Results' synchronized to files - before sync 1 / after sync 1 / saved 1 / removed 0 in 0.05 s.

If sync log is missing, something went wrong and rather save your strategies manually before exiting sqx.
