Defining Replication Configurations for Projects

Follow this procedure to create a new project replication configuration for the current DB site. The replication configuration enables you to specify the project and branches to be replicated.

After defining the configuration, you can define the replica sites that are to receive the replicated project. When you run Replicator, it replicates the items that match the configuration to the replica sites.

To define a replication configuration for a project:

1. From the Replication Administration main window, click the Configurations tab.

2. From the filter in the navigation area, select Project Primary.

3. Click the New button. The New Replication Configuration dialog box opens, with the General tab selected.

4. Enter a name for the configuration in the Configuration ID field, up to 25 characters.

5. (Optional) Enter comments describing the configuration in the Description field, up 240 characters.

6. Select the project that you want to replicate from the Primary project list. If you have a long list, enter search text in the Filter text field. The list will automatically be filtered to reflect what you type.

7. Leave Is replication enabled to the replica selected.

8. (Optional) Click the Branches tab and select all of the named version branches that you want to replicate.

The special options include:

n <ALL_LOCAL_BRANCHES>: Replicates all named branches owned by the primary DB site to the replica DB sites.

n <ALL_NAMED_BRANCHES>: Replicates all named branches on the primary DB site to the replica DB sites except those that are owned by the replica DB sites.

NOTE These options are not supported for local replication. You must explicitly select the branches to be replicated to local replica sites.

9. Click OK to create the configuration.
