Add Import Archive Page

The Add Import Archive page is used to create an export archive file, which is used in the process of replicating a Web site from one content server to another. An import archive resides on the target server. During replication, content from the export archive is copied into the import archive. The import archive then copies the content to the target content server.

Element	Description
Archive Type	Specifies whether this is an import or export archive (this option is marked for you).
Archive Name	Name of the archive. The name appears in the list of available archives on the Manage Site Replication page (see Manage Site Replication Page). The archive name should not contain any spaces or special characters.
Archive Description	Description of the archive.
Retain switched region content on target server during import	Select this check box you want to retain content that contributors assign to each region on the target Web site. These are the areas where a contributor has switched the contributor data file or native document originally assigned to a region. You would typically choose to retain switched region content if you are replicating from a development server (source) to a contribution server (target), because in that scenario you want to preserve the changes made by a contributor. You would likely disable this option if you are replicating from a contribution server (source) to a consumption server (target), because in that scenario you want to overwrite anything that has changed on the consumption server.
Retain region content on target server during import	Select this check box if you want to retain the content that contributors edit in each region on the target Web site. This prevents any contributor data files and native documents from being copied from the source server to the target server, which would potentially overwrite files edited by contributors. You would typically choose to retain region content if you are replicating from a development server (source) to a contribution server (target), because in that scenario you want to preserve the changes made by a contributor. You would likely disable this option if you are replicating from a contribution server (source) to a consumption server (target), because in that scenario you want to overwrite anything that has changed on the consumption server.
