Increase performance in database synchronizations using Sync Framework

Question

Right now I'm using SyncFramework 2.1 to synchronize two database (almost 3GB of data) and the process is the way to slow. Sometimes I get an exception indicating "Timeout or remote database doesn´t respond". I figured out recently that during SelectionChanges activity the changes are stored in memory and the application starts to consume lots of memory, sometimes I get the exception:

The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.OutOfMemoryException

So, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong ? The memory issue is normal in Sync Framework ?

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks

Answer 1

what databases platforms are you synching and which sync provider are you using.

if you're using the SqlCeSyncProvider/SqlSyncProvider, you can set memory-based batching and likewise, you can also set the SQL command timeouts.
