Broadcasting Configuration Information
When you make certain changes, the configuration of the replica site must be broadcast from the main site to the replica site. You must broadcast the configuration when you update any of the following:
• The rules for content and scheduling
• The values in the wt.properties files
The security schemes on both main and replica servers permit anonymous logging on. If the security schemes are configured correctly, the replica site can receive the requests from the main site and, after verification, respond to the requests. If the security schemes are not configured correctly, the replica may not identify the main requests.
You must broadcast configuration information after you manually make changes to the vault configuration (for example, if you updated folders or vaults).
You broadcast configuration information from the Vault Configuration window. To access this window, click > > , available from Products

Command Line Tool for Broadcasting the Vault Configuration
The File Server Registration tool automates the steps to broadcast the vault configuration to File Servers. You can use this utility to broadcast the vault configuration to multiple sites.
Prerequisite:
• Main and File Server sites are up and running.
To broadcast the vault configuration, run the following command from the windchill shell:
windchill wt.fv.tools.FileServerRegistrationTool broadcast [-u <userName>] [-p <password>]
You can find a list of possible command line options by running the following command:
windchill wt.fv.tools.FileServerRegistrationTool broadcast --help
Following is a list of valid arguments:
• --userName=<adminid> — User ID of the administrator user.
• --password=<adminpassword> — Password of the administrator user.
• --fileServerList=<site names> — Comma separated list of file server names.
If the fileServerList is not specified, the tool broadcasts to all file servers.
After running the utility, the summary displays the following status:
• Successful — Name of the sites for which the broadcast is successful.
• Failed — Name of the sites for which the broadcast failed.
