Creating New Rules
The system creates a special rule for predictive replication and then replicates the objects that the special rule applies to. These rules are hidden from users.
After the creation of this special rule, if a schedule does not already exist for a replica vault, a recurring predictive replication schedule is created. This predictive replication operation runs daily at a specific time specified in the wt.properties file. The scheduleType of this schedule is named:
PREDICTIVE
The schedule performs replication only for objects that qualify for the special predictive replication rule or scheduleType, such as the following:
PREDICTIVE+SCHEDULED
This schedule performs replication for both a predictive replication rule and the normal rule.
* 
Only one predictive replication schedule can exist for each vault.
Before this special rule and schedule are created, the system determines whether a schedule for that vault exists. If a schedule exists, the system determines whether a replication rule already exists for the object class and the vault. If both a schedule and a replication rule already exist, then a predictive replication rule and schedule are not created.
As a part of predictive replication, all objects are replicated to a vault that is designated as the cache. This depends on the value that was set in the ad hoc replication property.
