2.2.2. Extent of Replication

The following information is replicated from the Master Liver Server:

  • created folders

  • created content items

  • created content versions

  • destruction of content versions

  • destruction of content items

  • renaming/moving of content items and folders

  • creation dates of folders, documents and versions: These dates are copied unchanged from the Master Live Server, indicating the time of the most recent publication of these objects. Note that some server tools, such as the cm publishall tool, may reset the publication date, so business logic should not rely too much on this metadata.

Certain information is not replicated:

  • document editing state: By definition, there are only content items with state "published" on the Master Live Server. Nevertheless, the flags for approved and published still exist on the Master Live Server, but get lost during replication. This also applies to the associated date and user properties like approval date or publisher.

  • content types: Any changes in the content type definitions must be carried out by hand on all server instances.

  • user and group data: Any changes must be carried out by hand on all server instances.

  • creation date in the management environment: As the creation date in the delivery environment indicates the time of the publication, the original creation date becomes inaccessible.
