6.3 Defining a Content Replication Schedule

When you define an package for delivery to managed devices within you system, the package is physically added to the package repository on the Primary Server. To ensure that packages are available on each ZENworks Server, you need to establish a schedule for replicating the packages from your Primary Server to your Secondary Servers. By default, no schedule is defined, which means that no replication can take place until you define the schedule.

  1. Access the ZENworks Control Center by using the following URL:

    https://ZENworks_Primary_Server_Address

    Replace ZENworks_Primary_Server_Address with the IP address or DNS name of the Primary Server.

  2. Click the Configuration tab.

  3. In the Management Zone Settings list, click Content Replication Schedule to display the Content Replication Schedule page.

    The Content Replication Schedule page determines how often bundles are replicated from the Primary Server to all Secondary Servers in the Management Zone. During replication of a bundle, only a new packages and updates to existing packages are sent.

  4. Select a schedule type from the drop-down list.

    The following schedules are available:
