Replication sets are repositories whose data is synchronized. Each replication set stands for one repository. ELO Replication compares entries between different repositories.

The following option is available for selecting entries for replication:

• Assign replication sets function

'Assign replication sets' function

This function enables you to assign replication sets to entries in ELO. Replication sets enable you to synchronize data between multiple locations. The replication sets must have already been mapped to the entries using the ELO Replication module.

Information: You only have to assign replication sets at one location. The assigned replication sets are configured at the other locations through replication.

Steps

Please note: Replication sets are inherited upward to parent folders in the repository structure. To prevent inheritance, select the Start point for replication option for the entry you want to replicate (Organize > Metadata > Options).

1. Select the entry you want to assign a replication set.

2. On the ribbon, click Organize > Properties > Assign replication sets.

3. Click Add.

You will see the replication sets defined in the configuration. The name of the replication set is made up of the location name and the name of the repository.

Information: The local replication set, that is the replication set where the entries are located, is assigned automatically. You do not have to add it manually.

4. Select one or more replication sets and confirm with OK.

The selected replication sets appear in the Assign replication sets dialog box.

The following options are available:

• Set: All the listed replication sets are assigned to the entry.
• Differences: If you removed a replication set from the list and/or added a replication set to the list, this change is passed on to the entry. Replication sets from the list that were not changed are not passed on. The replication sets of the entry that were not changed are retained.
• Cut: The replication set is assigned to the entry selected. The replication sets that are not within this intersection are removed.
• Including child entries: If this option is enabled, the replication set is also assigned to the child entries of the selected entry.
