Hi,
Considerations: Before setting up replication.
- Network Bandwidth and Link
- Network Latency.
- Database Size on the Primary site.
- If any Firewall, Proxy, Router, etc. exists between 2 sites.
- Does these Firewall or Routers have packet scanning mechanism built in, as this can strip the zip file that is passed on the link.
Considerations: Adding a new Site to an existing replication partner.
- Make sure the replication Schedule is not set to “Automatic”.
- Make sure Liveupdate schedule is NOT set to “Continuous” or “Every 4 hours”.
- Lower the count of Content revisions in the Liveupdate settings.
- Purge SEPM Logs.
Database supported for SQL:
- Sybase adaptive server anywhere (ASA) 9.0
- Microsoft SQL 2000 Server with SP4
- Microsoft SQL 2005 Server with SP2
- Microsoft SQL 2008 Server (RU5 onwards)
Best Practices
1. Versions of the Policy Manager have to be the same.
2. Replication schedules should not overlap.
3. If replicating over WAN, only replicate the logs.
4. Delete Replication Partners when:
- Upgrading the Policy Manager.
- If any CRT Approved tools need to executed.
- Software / Hardware maintenance on the Policy Manager.
- Backing up database manually.
Please check Tomcat logs from Site 1 and “Install Error” logs from New Site, if the initial replication fails
