Replicate master repository data to distributed repository
Now you have created a UNC share on a system to host a distributed repository, and
added the repository location to your ePolicy Orchestrator database. Now, all that is
missing in the new repository is data. If you browse to your share folder you created,
you can see that it is still empty.
Use the
Replicate now
feature to manually update your distributed repositories with the
latest contents from your master repository. Later, we’ll schedule a replication task so
this happens automatically.
To initiate replication manually:
1
In the console tree, select
Repository
.
2
In the details pane, click
Replicate now
. The
Replicate Now
wizard appears.
3
Click
Next
.
4
From the list of available distributed repositories, select the distributed repository
you have created, then click
Next
.
5
Select
Incremental replication
.
Because this is a new distributed repository, and this is the first time you are
replicating to it, you could also select
Full replication
. However, for future replications,
it is recommended to use incremental replication to save time and bandwidth.
6
Click
Finish
to begin replication. The Server Task Log appears.
7
Monitor the status of the task until it completes.
If you browse to your
ePOShare
folder now, you can see that it now contains subfolders
for agents and software.

Configure remote sites to use the distributed repository
Since you have created a distributed repository, why not make sure it gets used? Your
test network is too small to really require distributed repositories. But for the sake of
simulating how they work, we can configure your updating to force systems in one site
to update only from the distributed repository instead of the master.
To simulate this in your test, let’s configure the agent policies for one of the sites to use
only the new distributed repository. In our example network used in this guide, this is
the
Container1
site, which is where the system hosting your newly-created distributed
repository resides.
To configure the ePolicy Orchestrator agent policy for the
Container1
site to use the
distributed repository for updating:
1
In the console tree, select the site whose systems that you want to use the
distributed repository.
2
In the details pane, select the
Policies
tab, then open
ePO Agent 3.5.0
from the list of
products.
3
Click
Edit
at the right end of the
Configuration
row.
4
Select
New Policy
from the
Policy Name
drop-down list. The
Create new policy
dialog box
appears.
