You can configure the vaulting and replication rules for the external file and replica sites established by the site administrator.

When external vaults are configured, document and part content is stored on a file system rather than in the database. This configuration can provide significant upload performance improvements and is appropriate when the site is frequently used to exchange large files (such as CAD model files).

By default, external storage rules are based on individual domains in each context. You can launch the Vaulting Rules utility from the Utilities > File Server Administration page in the context of a product or library. The utility allows you to create vaulting rules for the domains - /System and /Default - associated with the context in which the client is launched.

If the increased number of vaults and file vault rules becomes unmanageable, the site administrator can force vaulting to be accomplished through a single vault by setting the wt.fv.forceContentToVault property to true. For how to set external file vault rules or set up a single vault, see Creating Vaulting Rules and Vault Configuration.

Site administrators typically define the replica site and the replication schedule, and the product or library managers configure the replication rules for a particular product or library. Product and library managers can access the File Server Administration utility, but can only work on setting the replication and file vaulting rules. For how to set replication rules, see Managing Replication Rules.
