Setup for Siebel Analytics Web Catalog Replication

To enable Web Catalog replication, set up the conditions described in this section.

Set UseReplication Property

By default, the replication functionality is disabled for Siebel Analytics Web servers. For a Siebel Analytics Web server to participate in replication, as either a publisher or subscriber, its UseReplication property must be set to "Y." You can set this either in the server's instanceconfig.xml file or in the registry.

Use Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent

You must use the Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent (sawrepa) on one server. This agent handles all the replication tasks. It has some command line options. For more information, read Using the Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent.

Edit Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent Configuration File

You need to edit the Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent's configuration file (config.xml) to specify which folders on which Siebel Analytics Web servers are to be replicated. For more information, read Editing the config.xml File.

Copy Web Catalog Files

The Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent copies changes made to a Web Catalog. Because it only copies changes, and not the entire contents, you must first make a copy of the source Web Catalog on each of the subscribing Siebel Analytics Web servers.

Adjust Replication Flags

Because the Web Catalog file came from another server its Replication flag maybe set incorrectly. Adjust it using the sawrepa mark command. Start by removing the Replication flag from all catalog nodes with this command:

sawrepa mark <newservername> /n /shared /users

Then set the Replication flag again with this command:

sawrepa mark <newservername>
