Compress Transmitted Data

To reduce network traffic, you can compress data before transmitting it across the network between CA DataMinder machines. Specifically, you can compress the policy blobs and captured data blobs (see the previous section).

When a server receives data that is already compressed, it does not uncompress then re-compress the data before replicating it up to a parent server or (for the CMS) storing it.

To turn on compression for data transmitted from a specific machine

1. In the Machine Policy Editor, browse to the Replication folder.
2. Set the Compress Transmitted Data? setting to True.
