Replication Properties

• Run Script before Synchronization

  Triggers a script to run before each synchronization. The synchronization process does not start until this script run is completed.

  • Script Name

    Enter the full name and path of the script.

  • Arguments

    Arguments to pass to the script that is specified in the previous property. Arguments are static values.

• Run Script after Synchronization

  Triggers a script to run after each synchronization. The synchronization process does not wait for this script run to finish.

  • Script Name

    Enter the full name and path of the script.

  • Arguments

    Arguments to pass to the script that specified in the previous property. Arguments are static values.

• Compress Data during Transfer

  Compresses data before sending it to the Replica. This option optimizes bandwidth and transfer time. If the Master host is a busy production server, we recommend activating this feature on the first-level Replica that resides on the same LAN, and not on the Master.

  • Compress data is resource consuming, and impacts server performance. If the typical file format being transferred does not compress much, this option is a waste of processing power and time. Although the transmission bandwidth can be lessened, the overall replication time is a function of compressibility and available power.
  • Already compressed files such as .zip, .rar, .gz, .jpeg, etc., and any small file whose size is less than 512 bytes, are not compressed.
• Run Script upon Trigger File Creation

  [For File Server only] Defines whether special actions should be triggered via a script, when a specified trigger file appears.

  • Trigger File Name

    The name of the file that triggers the script, which is specified in the next property. The script is triggered once the file creation event occurs.

  • Script to Run
    • Script Name

      This script is invoked, when the trigger file that is specified in the previous property is created. Enter the full name and path of the script.

    • Arguments

      Arguments to be passed to the script specified in the previous property. Arguments must be static values.
