By replication, did u mean that you want the same state in two machine, if so I think it is possible, I have not done it,since there was no requirement

DB backup, you can use mysqldump if u are using mysql
file copying simple 'scp' or 'rsysn' will do, there are tons of how to do in the net

Set up a "transfer target".
Create a replication job and select the transfer target you crated above.
On the destination system edit the share extension config to be able to map sending repaid to URL.

That's the high level. Have you managed any of it?

Hi,
I have done both the way.
1.I have configured the target repository id and url in share-custom-config.xml.
2.I have create created a replication job using alfresco share tool.But while i tried to run the job ,I got exception as

"Result: Job cannot be run, message '10220434 Error executing transfer - 10220432 Failed to execute HTTP request begin to target: TransferTarget: Internal Target,host:internal,port:443 status: java.net.UnknownHostException: internal" is displayed. "

Then i saw an issue in Jira.Posting the link

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-11640

I have done changes as mentioned as giving host:localhost
port:8080
path: url of internal folder
user:admin
password:admin

But got exception as

08271450 Failed to execute HTTP request begin to target: TransferTarget: Internal Target,host:localhost,port:8080 status: org.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 5

Also guide me that how can I create a external target inside default group?

Simply use Share to create a folder in "Default Group".

But first you need the hostname or IP address of your remote alfresco instance and the port number to connect to by http or https.

It looks like your "host" is wrong for your target called "internal". And is the port number of 443 correct, alfresco is generally 8443?

You need to specify the hostname of your remote alfresco instance. You can also specify its IP address if there is no suitable hostname.

Title:Internal Target
Description:Internal Target

Endpoint Host:* DEVSERVERA

Endpoint Port:*8443

Endpoint Path:*${url.serverPath}/share/${spaces.repository.childname}/${spaces.transfer_groups.childname}

Endpoint Protocol:*http

Username: admin

Leave endpoint path alone. The default value of /alfresco/service/api/transfer should be O.K.

DEVSERVERA does not look like a hostname, I'd expect it to have your domain name e.g. devservera.someco.com

Does it resolve to an IP address?
Don't know what O.S. you are using but does 'ping DEVSERVERA' work?

Hi,

I have changed to endpoint url as:http://localhost:8080/share-.But got exception as
08270317 Error executing transfer - 08270314 Received unsuccessful response code from target server: begin, 404

I have found some atricle for replication configuration in alfresco as posted below

http://tribloom.com/blogs/michael/2011/02/12/introducing-file-system-transfer-receiver

So I tried to set according to it.but http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/transfer is showing error as

The Web Script /alfresco/service/api/transfer/ has responded with a status of 405 - Method Not Allowed. Can you suggest?

I'm not familiar with an "endpoint url" property.

If you are connecting to another instance of alfresco then leave the "endpoint path" as the default value. Which is also the value I gave you in the previous posting.

If you are connecting for a FTR then change as per your linked document.
