On the Summary page, review the details then click Start Replication.
The Server Task Log page displays the status of the task until it is complete. Replication time
depends on the changes to the master repository and the number of distributed repositories to
which you are replicating.
After the task is complete, you can initiate an immediate client update task so that managed
systems in other locations can get updates from the distributed repositories.
Avoiding replication of selected packages
If distributed repositories are set up to replicate only selected packages, your newly checked-in
package is replicated by default. Depending on your requirements for testing and validating, you
might want to avoid replicating some packages to your distributed repositories.
Use this task to avoid replicating a newly checked-in package.
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
