You can incrementally replicate the IBM® Security Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager critical data from the master server to the
clone servers. With incremental replication, the master server updates the clone servers with the
delta changes frequently. You can use the graphical user interface or REST interface to enable and
schedule incremental replication.
About this task
Incremental replication needs to be configured on the master server. No configuration is required
on the clone server.
Procedure
- Using graphical user interface
- Log in to the graphical user interface.
- Click
.
- Ensure that Master role is selected.
- Click the Advanced Properties tab.
- In the Replication Scheduler Section, select the
Incremental replication frequency check box.
- Optional: Specify the frequency (in seconds) at which you want the
incremental replication operation to run.
By default, the incremental replication
operation runs every 60 seconds, which is one minute.
- Click Start Replication Server.
- Click OK.
- Using REST APIs
- Open a REST client.
- Obtain a unique user authentication identifier to access IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager REST services. For more information about the
authentication process, see Authentication process for REST services.
- Run Update Replication Config Property REST Service to enable
incremental replication.
For
example:
PUT https://localhost:<port>/SKLM/rest/v1/replicationConfigProperties
{"replication.Incremental.Enable": "true"}
- Optional: To modify the default frequency (60 seconds) of the incremental
replication, run Update Replication Config Property REST Service and provide the
frequency (in seconds) at which you want the incremental replication operation to
run.
For
example:
PUT https://localhost:<port>/SKLM/rest/v1/replicationConfigProperties
{"replication.Incremental.CheckFrequency": "120"}
- Start Replication server.
Results
Incremental replication is enabled and configured. You can
immediately run the operation by clicking Replicate Now. Otherwise, the
operation runs based on the value given in the Incremental replication
frequency field. The operation runs until you disable it.
