FCS System Settings for Bucket Replication

The Administrator can use the following File Collaboration Server (FCS) to activate or deactivate bucket replication and tune its performance. These settings affect those sync store and sync server use cases in which the user can change the transaction scope. For details, see FCS Bucket Replication Use Cases.

Setting Description
fcssettings.syncmaxfilenum Sets the maximum number of files contained in a replication pack or set. This is also the maximum number of LXFILE table rows that the sync store service can lock at the same time. The default value is 30.
fcssettings.syncmaxsize Sets the maximum size in megabytes of a replication pack. This setting is the cumulated size of each file it contains. It prevents the replication pack from becoming too large and having a replication transaction opened for too long (i.e., the amount of time required to copy physical files from one FCS to another). The default value is 100 MB.
fcssettings.bucketsync Activates or deactivates bucket replication. Possible values are on and off. The default is on (i.e., bucket replication is activated by default).

MQL Commands for Bucket Replication

System administrator privileges are required to use the following MQL commands for modifying FCS system settings for bucket replication:

MQL CommandDescription
set system fcssetting bucketsync on;Activates FCS bucket replication
set system fcssetting bucketsync off;Deactivates FCS bucket replication
set system fcssetting syncmaxfilenum NUM;Modifies the bucket replication parameter syncmaxfilenum
set system fcssetting syncmaxsize SIZE;Modifies the bucket replication parameter syncmaxsize

The following command provides explicit control of synchronization:

MQL Sync CommandDescription
sync store;Starts the synchronization between locations of a store or the store itself
Note: The commit N argument of the sync store command is now obsolete, because you can control the scope of the synchronization through the system-wide settings fcssettings.syncmaxfilenum and fcssettings.syncmaxsize.
