Once you have set up permanent and temporary storage ID locations, you can start document replication manually or schedule it to run automatically. For most purposes, schedule regular, automatic replication of all storage IDs. Then use document replication to automatically back up image storage locations, while also scheduling replication for the optimum time for your system's host computer system and network.
During document replication, the system copies images from every storage ID location defined in the document profiles. Depending on the profiles, for example, images are copied from temporary branch storage locations into one or more central image storage location.
From the System > System Files > Imaging menu, select Document Replication Scheduler to display the Document Replication Scheduler screen.
In the To Storage ID field, do one of the following:
Press F10 and select the name of the storage ID you want to replicate.
Leave the field blank to replicate all storage IDs.
In the Stop Time field, do one of the following:
Enter the time to stop the replication process.
Leave the field blank to let the replication continue until complete.
Note: The Phantom processor notifies you when either a scheduled or background replication is complete, and it summarizes any errors. A Document Replication Error Report is generated if any errors, such as copying errors or inaccessible storage ID errors, are encountered during replication.
Use the hot keys described in the following table to finalize the document replication.
Hot Key |
Description |
Backgnd Now |
Starts the replication now, but runs in the background. The Phantom processor notifies you when the replication is complete. |
Foregnd Now |
Starts the replication now, using the current Eclipse screen to display the progress. At the prompt, determine whether to replicate using the Eclipse Host system, or using your personal computer. The foreground mode is useful for testing a document replication job, such as checking if all storage ID locations are accessible. |
Schedule |
Display a standard Phantom Scheduler screen, in which you can specify when and how to replicate the documents. We recommend scheduling automatic replication and backup of every storage ID location. |
F12 |
Aborts, and closes the screen without performing the replication. |
