To make content replication function with the Windchill Visualization Service, you must configure properties and to specify rules.

If you are not setting properties through a graphical user interface or in a mapping file, you add or edit properties with the xconfmanager utility. For more information, see Using the xconfmanager Utility.

To enable content replication for viewables it is recommended that you set the following property in the wt.properties file:

This property sets the minimum file size, in bytes, that content replication will handle. The default value is 10,000, which could exclude very small files.

To specify that viewables are replicated, configure content replication rules for the DerivedImage class or the WTMarkUp class on the Content Replication Rules window. You can set up separate rules for each class, and the viewables are replicated. The DerivedImages class gets replicated only if the replication rules use a domain-based collection.

For more details about setting up the rules, see Accessing the Content Replication Rules Page.
