Selecting the target repository for a replication job

The To Target tab displays when you are creating or modifying a replication job and is used to select the target repository for a replication job. The target repository is the repository to which objects are replicated.

For instructions on how to access the New Replication Job - To Target page and create new replication jobs, refer to Creating replication jobs.

To select the target repository:

  1. Type the name and password of a superuser in the target repository.

  2. On Windows, type the name of the domain where the target repository resides.

  3. Select the target repository and connection broker from the drop-down lists.

    If the correct source repository does not project to a particular connection broker, choose a different connection broker.

    After the replication job runs successfully for the first time, you cannot change the target repository.

  4. Click Select Path to access the Choose a folder page, then select the target cabinet or navigate to the correct folder in a cabinet, and click OK.

  5. Optionally, click Select Owner to access the Choose a user page, then select the user who is the owner of the target repository, and click OK.

    This action updates objects to the owner you choose. Most replication jobs do not require this.

  6. Click Select Permission Set to access the Choose a permission set page, then select a permission assigned to the replica objects, and click OK.

    If you leave the Permission Set field blank, the server creates a default permission set that gives RELATE permission to the world and group levels and DELETE permission to the replica owner.

  7. Click Select Storage to access the Choose a storage page, then select a storage area for the content associated with the replica, and click OK.

    By default, the content is stored in a storage area named replica_filestore_01. However, this area is located on the same device as the default file store (filestore_01) for local documents. It is recommended that you create a new file store on a different device to store replica content.

  8. Click a tab to move to another Job Properties page, or click OK or Cancel to return to the Jobs list page.
