Introduction
This article clarifies the replication filter options available when scheduling a replication job.
Definitions
Replication filters control how document instances are replicated during a two-way replication job. They are only supported for "Normal Replication" mode, and cannot be used for refresh from origin or refresh from destination modes.
- Replicate document templates : this option triggers the replication of any object that is not a document instance (user, folder, security, parent Crystal report, Webi document template, dashboard, ...)
- Replicate locally run completed instances : this option triggers the replication of document instances from destination to origin only ("Locally run instances" means "Instances run on destination")
- Replicate remote schedules : this option triggers the replication of document instances from origin to destination as well instances with remote schedule flag from origin to destination
Example 1 : report is refreshed on origin
In this example, we schedule a report on the origin site and make it so there is a mix of failed, successful and pending instances.
We then create a replication list containing that report and one user group.
We will now create and execute a replication job for that replication list, and observe the execution result depending on the replication filter settings.
No filter
configuration |
result |
|---|---|
All options are unchecked |
The job fails with the error code (FWM 14003) : "Filter settings exclude everything from replication". |
Document templates only
configuration |
result |
|---|---|
Replicate document templates option is checked |
The job succeeds and all objects (parent report, users, users' folders, security) are replicated but the report instances. You can observe from the destination site's CMC that the parent report exists but does not have any child instance. |
Locally run instances
configuration |
result |
|---|---|
Replicate locally run completed instances option is checked |
The job succeeds but there is still no instance from the origin replicated on to the destination. |
Remote schedule
configuration |
result |
|---|---|
Replicate remote schedules option is checked |
The job succeeds and all completed instances from origin are copied to the destination, whether they are failed or successful instances. |
