exclude from replication.

1. The exclude list is in a file in

The Scheduler

• Allows you to distribute data on a scheduled
basis
• Pause data distribution
• Resume data distribution

30


The Scheduler
• Select the operation: Pause or resume or
distribute
• Select a link (or all links)
• Select a receiver (or all)
• Select the time (minute, hour, day, etc.)
• Select the path
• Hit create
• Repeat as needed and hit apply when done (You
need the password for remote servers)

31


32


Continuous /Real Time

The continuous replication watches the
file system and each time a change
occurs it is propagated to all links if they
match the patterns in the include and do
not match the pattern in the excludes.

33


EXCLUDE THE DESTINATION DIRECTORY
TO AVOID A LOOP

(1) Use notepad to edit excludes file in enduradata’s etc
directory

(1) Add: Your destination directories to the exclude file

34


CONFIGURE REAL TIME

• Select the “Real Time Conf” tab
• Enter the path names to monitor for file changes ( One
path per line)
