Table 7.7. Replication options

Field labelDescription

Code Page

Specifies the correct code page for the replication job. Keep the value at the default, UTF-8, unless it must be changed.

Select Full Refresh to replicate every object in the source cabinet or folder. By default, the replication job is incremental and only replicates objects that have changed since the last execution of the job.

Select Fast Replication, to use fast replication.

Caution

Fast replication does not replicate all relationships. For more information, refer to the Distributed Configuration Guide.

Full Text Indexing

Specifies the full-text indexing mode. Valid options are:

  • Use target repository settings for indexing: The same documents are indexed in the source and target.

  • Do not index replicas: None of the replicas are marked for indexing.

  • Index all replicas: All replicas in a format that can be indexed are marked for indexing.

Replication Mode

Specifies the replication mode.

You can select federated mode whether or not the source and target repositories are in a federation. For more information on selecting a replication mode, refer to Choosing replication and security modes.

Nonfederated replication mode is called external replication mode in the Distributed Configuration Guide.

Security Option

Specifies how to handle security if there is no matching permission set in the target repository.

  • Select Preserve to replicate the source permission set in the target repository.

  • Select Remap to reset the replica’s acl_domain to the permission set specified on the target if the source permission set is an external permission set.

For more information on choosing a security mode, refer to Choosing replication and security modes.

Maximum objects per transfer

Specifies the maximum number of objects dumped and transferred in each operation.

When selected, the replication job dumps and transfers the total number of objects to be replicated in batches of the size specified. For example, if 100,000 objects must be replicated and the maximum is set to 10,000, the objects are replicated in 10 batches.

Select Manual Transfer if you intend to manually move the dump file from the source to the target, then click Select User next to the Transfer Operator field.

Transfer operatorSpecifies the user who manually transfers the replication job.

Click Select User and select the user in the target repository to notify that a replication job is ready for manual transfer.

The system sends an email notification to the selected user.

Caution

The replication job creates a dump file and a delete synchronization file. Both files must be transferred to the target. Always transfer the dump file first.
