Scheduled Replication



When you create a job, you can select existing scheduled replication filters to apply to the job or you can create new scheduled replication filters and apply them to the job.  This Preferences page lists the existing scheduled replication filters.  From this page, you can view, create, edit, and delete scheduled replication patterns.  However, you cannot edit or delete a scheduled replication filter while it is applied to a job.  See Scheduled Replication in the Advanced Topics section for more information about scheduled replication.

To create a scheduled replication filter:

1.Select Preferences from the Window menu.

2.Expand Collab, Sync, and Replication in the navigation tree, and then select Scheduled Replication.
