Replicator 7.4 - Redirecting Replicator to Specific Targets

Redirecting Replicator to Specific Targets

September 2023

Metalogix Replicator 5.0 introduced the ability to redirect SharePoint events to specific replication targets based on rules. This article describes the configuration steps required to use this feature. It is important to note that this feature only replicates changes to a subset of the original map family's targets. When creating your groups and connections, ensure the default group for the map family includes all possible targets for your replication requirements. You can then use replication rules to determine which groups and connections to replicate SharePoint changes to.

Sample Replicator Configuration

The examples in this document use a Replication Network where all SharePoint changes are replicated bidirectionally between all web applications using a Map Family with the Branch Offices Group. Additional groups exist for limiting replication to only branch offices in either the American or European regions.

Branch Offices Replication Group Members

All Replication Connections are members of the Branch Offices group. Any map families using this group replicate events bidirectionally to the Corporate and branch portals. In the following sections, the map family for the rules is configured to use this group.

American Offices Replication Group Members

Connections between the Corporate and New York branch portals are members of the American Offices group. Any map families using this group replicate events bidirectionally between these web applications.
