Sending Distributions Between Trees

Using External Subscribers, you can send Distributions from one tree to another. To accomplish this, do the following:

  1. Make sure TED is installed to both trees.

    In the remaining steps, TREE1 represents the tree where the Distribution is created and TREE2 represents the other tree where you want the Distribution sent.

    The server in TREE2 that is to receive the Distribution from TREE1 must have the Subscriber software installed on it (meaning it is a Subscriber in TREE2).

    For more information on installing TED, see Getting Started in the Installation guide.

  2. In TREE1, create an External Subscriber object.

    Make sure that the IP address or DNS name you enter for this object matches the Subscriber server in TREE2 where you want the Distribution to be sent.

    For steps in creating External Subscribers, see Creating and Configuring External Subscribers .

  3. In TREE1, create the Channel for the Distribution.

    For steps in creating Channels, see Creating and Configuring Channels .

  4. Associate the External Subscriber object you created in Step 2 with the Channel you created in step Step 3.

    Other Subscribers from TREE1 can already be associated with this Channel.

    For steps in associating Subscribers with Channels, see Associating Subscribers with Channels .

  5. In TREE1, create the Distribution.

    For steps in creating Distributions, see Creating and Configuring Distributions .

  6. Associate this Distribution with the Channel you created in Step 3.

  7. Verify that the External Subscriber server in TREE2 received the Distribution.
