When you create an Edge Caching-enabled job, you can select existing pinning filters to apply to the job or you can create new pinning filters and apply them to the job. This Preferences page lists the existing pinning filters. From this page, you can create, edit, and delete pinning filters. However, you cannot edit or delete a pinning filter while it is applied to a job.
A pinning filter specifies whether specific files or files in a particular directory are always stubbed or always local on the edge participant. A pinning filter similar is to a utilization policy—it can be applied to multiple jobs. If there is a conflict between a pinning filter and utilization policy (where, for example, you might have something set to be always stubbed), the pinning filter will take precedence.
To create a pinning filter:
1.Select Open Preferences from the Tools menu.
2.Expand Collab, Sync, and Replication in the navigation tree, and then select Edge Caching.
3.Select Pinning Filters.
Any existing pinning filters are listed in the Pinning Filters table.
4.Click Create.
The Create Pinning Filter dialog appears.
5.Enter a name for the pinning filter.
6.Click Create to add a pinning rule to the filter.
7.Enter a file name or enter a path.
8.Choose a pinning state:
•Select Local at Edge if you want the specified files or path to always be local and never stubbed.
•Select Stubbed at Edge if you want the specified files or path to always be stubbed at edge.
9.Click OK.
The rule appears in the Pinning Rules table.
10.If you want to add additional rules to the pinning filter, repeat Steps 6-9.
11.Click OK to close the Create Pinning Filter dialog.
The new filter is listed in the Pinning Filters table and can now be applied to Edge Caching-enabled jobs.
12.Click Apply and Close or Apply.
