Windchill System Administrator's Guide

1. In the Windchill home window, click Administrator to display the
Administrator window.
2. Click Replication Administrator to display the Replication Administrator
window.
3. Click Site Administrator to display the Site Management window. The
roles of sites in Content Replication are identified by plus signs (+) and minus
signs (-) in the M and R columns. The local site is identified by two minuses.
A site that is a replica for the local site displays a plus in the R column. A site
that is a master for the local site displays a plus in the M column.
4. Create a master site using the instructions in the previous section in this
document, Creating the Master Site, if you have not already done so.
Selecting the master site that in the Site Management window makes the Import
Key button active. Click Import Key in the Site Management window to import
the key to the local site that is serving as a full-scale replica site.
Configuring a Lightweight Replica site
See the section earlier in this document, Creating and Placing Security Keys, to
make sure that you have performed the required actions regarding keys. If you are
not setting properties through a graphical user interface or in a mapping file, you
add or edit properties with the xconfmanager utility, which is discussed elsewhere
in this guide.
Setup Check
To configure the replica site, perform the following task:
In Windchill\codebase\wt.properties, add the property
wt.intersvrcom.masterSite.1 to reference the master site. The structure is as
follows:
wt.intersvrcom.masterSite.1=,
For example, If the master gateway Url, which can be obtained from Site
Administration window, is
http://abcdef.com:9999/Windchill/servlet/WindchillGW, and the
location of the master key on replica is C:\masterConfig\master.key, the
resultant string is:
wt.intersvrcom.masterSite.1=http://abcdef.com:9999/Windchill/servl
et/WindchillGW,C:\masterConfig\master.key
To check the setup of either type of replica site, perform the following steps:
1. Enable verbose for both fv and fv.master packages on master site and
fv.replica package on replica site.
