About this task
Before you can replicate, you must define a replication group. A replication group associates an
object store with an external repository. An external repository is a repository object that has an
associated fixed content device. Each fixed content device can be associated with only one external
repository.
You can define the replication direction for data synchronization. After you define one or more
replication groups, you can map a
Content Platform Engine document class to a
FileNet Image Services document class. If you select a replication direction of
Both, data and objects are synchronized in both directions and the index
catalog on both
Content Platform Engine and
FileNet Image Services match. For
Inbound and
Outbound options, the direction of synchronization is relative to
Content Platform Engine:
- If you select the Inbound option, the data and properties on Content Platform Engine are synchronized to match the data and properties on FileNet Image Services.
- If you select the Outbound option, the data and properties on FileNet Image Services are synchronized to match the data and properties on Content Platform Engine.
After you map a document class within a replication group, you can map specific properties of the
Content Platform Engine document class to properties of the FileNet Image Services document class.
Tip: To configure how Content Platform Engine performs
bidirectional replication, click the Replication Subsystem tab in the domain
navigation pane of the administration console.
