Content Replication

[kamal1387]

I have the following replication xml <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

But the D:/DATA/replication gets replicated data only after alfresco restart..
how do we schedule the replication..

I think that you need to activate the replicating Spring context in the extension root folder:

/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/replicating-content-services-context.xml.sample‍

You have to rename the file in the following way:

/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/replicating-content-services-context.xml‍

And you have to try to restart Alfresco, now you should have the replication for contents not only at bootstrap time but also at application runtime.

Hope this helps.

Yes the above mentioned code in my reply is from replicating-content-services-context.xml and still its only replicating at bootstrap not at regular intervals
