Administering syndication

Learn how to administer syndication relationships.

Syndication overview
Syndication is the method used by IBM® Web Content Manager to replicate data from a web content library on one server to a web content library on another server.
Creating a syndication relationship
To set up syndication between libraries on two IBM Web Content Manager applications, establish a relationship between a syndicator on the server containing the data to be replicated and a subscriber on the server that receives the replicated data.
Creating a syndication relationship from the command line
To set up a syndication relationship from the command line, use the XML configuration interface (xmlaccess command) and the ConfigEngine command to configure the subscriber.
Syndication tuning
While syndication is a vital part of keeping your web content current, the same syndication strategy is not appropriate for every environment. Depending on how you have deployed IBM Web Content Manager, you can use different syndication strategies to balance the currency of your content with the performance your environment requires.
Syndication troubleshooting
If you encounter issues when syndicating, there are some common methods available to troubleshoot these issues.
