Admin - Replication Settings

This screen is only accessible on slave servers, and only to users with the role 'dbfm_replication'.

It allows the following settings to be made:

Option

Function

Last Replicate Date (dbfm_lastreplicate) the cron function which controls replication will only consider files modified since this date. The replication process starts by adding all files modified since this data to a to-do list (in the database table dbfm_cronlist). Each of the files on the list is then replicated - unless there is already an existing data record associated with the file, in which case the md5 (file checksum) is compared first to ensure that the file actually needs replication.
Maximum Replication Time (dbfm_cron_reptime) This is the maximum length of time that the replication process is allowed to run for (in seconds). The program overrides the php timeout.
Replication enabled (dbfm_cron_repenabled) this checkbox enables (if checked) or disables the cron process.
Small File Max Filesize (dbfm_smallfile) If a user tries to access a dbfm file that hasn't yet been replicated there are two possibilities - if it is a large file the user is given the message "The requested file is temporarily unavailable - Please try again in a few minutes". The file will be replicated in the next cron run. If the file is smaller than the limit defined here then it will be replicated immediatly from the master server. The limit is specified in Bytes.
