Configuring data replication to a file system directory

To configure data replication to a file system directory on the Landmark server, you must specify several parameters in the ConfigurationParameter table in the application data area from which you want to do replication. These parameters will set file directories as a valid replication destination type, indicate where files are to be replicated to, indicate where schemas are placed, and control the size of the data files.

In Infor Rich Client or Web UI, for each data area for which you want to set up data replication to a file system directory, select Applications > Data > la > Business Classes > ConfigurationParameter, or in the Landmark Administration Console, select Other > System Configuration Parameters > All.

On the Configuration Parameter List form, select Action > Create for each of the following parameters and specify the values shown below:


Component	Key	Type	Required?	Description
Replication	data.output.destination	AlphaUpper	Yes	Specify DIRECTORY. If you are doing replication using other destination types, you can enter multiple values separated by a vertical bar or pipe \|. You also can use a value of BOTH to indicate both DIRECTORY and IMS.
Replication	data.output.directory	AlphaLower	Yes	Specify the directory on the Landmark server to place files in.
Replication	schema.registration.directory	AlphaLower	Yes	Specify the directory on the Landmark server in which to store the schemas for the replication sets.
Replication	chunk.size	Numeric	No	Specify the byte size. The default is 1000000 (1MB). This is an approximate size. After a row of data is exported, if the current buffer size exceeds this value, additional file will be created for the replicated data. The data files will include a number, starting at 0, to indicate the incremental files. Note also that the names of the data files are based on the replication set name and the replication set class name, but that any dots and spaces in those names are replaced with underscores.
