Improving Replication Performance
Windchill offers two technologies enabled by the same option that accelerate the handling of content data and expedite collaborative development.
• Local upload—Places a user’s uploaded content in the local cache vault as an intermediate location before it is transferred to a master site during a synchronization (sysForceSync) operation.

|
Content is also transferred to the master site when the master site receives a request for content that is only available at the remote site.
|
• File Server—Creates a location for rapid access to frequently requested content data.
Both technologies depend on a designated cache vault in the remote site. These technologies are transparent to the Windchill user and can be incorporated in applications. The technologies deliver the following benefits:
• Faster check-in for the user
• Faster and earlier access to cache content data for users with shared download preferences
• Availability of data to all users at all times
• Ability to determine the check-in status on the master site
• Data mirroring on the cache vault site to safeguard data against failure
• Conformation of remote site structure to rules
• Data that is searchable by all users after it is indexed on the master site
• JavaBean for easy incorporation of local upload functionality in applications
