NOTE: Script files must possess the same name as the sample script files.

AgentProtectionStorageConfiguration (namespace Replay.Common.Contracts.Agents)

The following table presents the available objects for the AgentProtectionStorageConfiguration parameter.

Table 218: Objects for the AgentProtectionStorageConfiguration parameter
Method Description
public Guid RepositoryId { get; set; } Gets or sets the ID of the repository where the agent recovery points are stored.
public string EncryptionKeyId { get; set; } Gets or sets the ID of the encryption key for this agent's recovery points. An empty string means no encryption.

AgentTransferConfiguration (namespace Replay.Common.Contracts.Transfer)

The following table presents the available objects for the AgentTransferConfiguration parameter.

Table 219: Objects for the AgentTransferConfiguration parameter
Method Description
public uint MaxConcurrentStreams { get; set; } Gets or sets the maximum number of concurrent TCP connections the Core establishes to the agent for transferring data.
public uint MaxTransferQueueDepth { get; set; } Gets or sets the maximum number of block extents which can be queued for writing. When a range of blocks are read from a transfer stream, that range is placed on a producer or consumer queue, where a consumer thread reads it and writes it to the epoch object. If the repository writes slower than the network reads, this queue fills up. The point at which the queue is full and reads stop is the maximum transfer queue depth.
public uint MaxConcurrentWrites { get; set; } Gets or sets the maximum number of block write operations to have outstanding on an epoch at any given time. If additional blocks are received beyond the maximum number of write operations specified in this parameter, those additional blocks are ignored until one of the outstanding writes finishes.
public ulong MaxSegmentSize { get; set; } Gets or sets the maximum number of contiguous blocks to transfer in a single request. Depending on testing, higher or lower values may be optimal.

public int MaxRetries { get; set; } Gets or sets the maximum number of times a failed transfer should be retried before it is presumed failed.
