Copy Files On Demand to a User’s Highest Read Priority Vault Upon First Access

This configuration allows copies of files to be local to a user so that subsequent access (for anyone else at their site) is faster. It is useful for files that need repeated access, but may not be needed by users at all sites. It minimizes access times, and reduces site-to-site data traffic and storage requirements at the sites.

For this configuration, one replication rule should be set for each vault:

• Initiator Type - onDemand
• Filter Method – none, or configured based on the business need. Remember, the filter method is checked before the replication transaction for a file is executed.
• Replication Mode – Scheduled, Delayed, or Immediate, depending on the file type and business need.
• Replication Type - Copy
• Is Active - checked
• Replication Time – If Scheduled, set to an off hour. You should consider staggering the replication times for the different rules, so excessive replication transactions are not set to execute all at the same time.
• Timeout – depends on the installation, but a default value of 0100 (one hour) is a good starting point. Large files may require longer Timeout values.
• Label – a unique name for each rule.

And for the two relationships made in the Replication Rule:

• File Types – None, or select the type(s) of files to copy.
• Target Vaults – None (blank). The user’s highest Read Priority vault is automatically used.
