A host can be a sender, a receiver or bothA host can be an IP or a hostname.

Example:

localhost ( for the local machine can be a sender and a receiver)

Definition excludes:

Excludes is a list of files and directories to exclude from replication.

1. The exclude list is in a file in enduradata\edcdist\etc\excludes

2. It has one line for each pattern to exclude3. It must have the destination directory to avoid an infinite

loop.

33

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.



34

EXCLUDE THE DESTINATION DIRECTORY TO AVOID A LOOP

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

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



35

CONFIGURE REAL TIME

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

path per line)• Hit “Save”• If the servers did not start, you need to start them using

the GUI or the command line• Restart the servers:

All Programs -> enduradata-> edcdist -> Start EnduraData Servers



36



37

MONITORING & STATS

• See status of files and progress• See statistics• See Jobs• Change Job priorities• Cancel Jobs, etc.



38

Command line interface(See the doc directory)

• edstop [ windows]• edstart [ windows]• edconfigure [ windows]• edstat • edjob• edq• edpause• edcryptor
