Export phase

The scripts sync_export_list creates update packets.

You can select the replicas to be updated, configure the script to send the packets immediately or place them in storage bays, and set other shipping options.

This job runs sync_export_list to generate and send updates to all other replicas in the VOB family at midnight local time:

Job.Begin
       Job.Id: 17
       Job.Name: "Sync Export Force ALL"
       Job.Description.Begin:
Every midnight, for each replica on this host, export update packets to
all sibling replicas.
       Job.Description.End:
       Job.Schedule.Daily.Frequency: 1
       Job.Schedule.FirstStartTime: 00:00:00
       Job.DeleteWhenCompleted: FALSE
       Job.Task: 13
       Job.Args: -quiet 1 -all
Job.End

To put the packets in a storage bay, use the –ship option. Packets in storage bays are sent by the shipping server. For example, this job runs sync_export_list to generate an update every day at 21:00 local time:

Job.Begin
       Job.Id: 18
       Job.Name: "Sync Export Store ALL"
       Job.Description.Begin:
Every night at 9PM, for each replica on this host, generate update
packets for all sibling replicas and store the packets in the storage bay.
       Job.Description.End:
       Job.Schedule.Daily.Frequency: 1
       Job.Schedule.FirstStartTime: 21:00:00
       Job.DeleteWhenCompleted: FALSE
       Job.Task: 13
       Job.Args: -quiet 1 -ship -all
Job.End
