How to Implement Repository Replacement

  • Last updated on

This article refers to the Barracuda ArchiveOne version 6.5.1.2840 and higher.

Implement Repository Replacement to assist with slow retrievals in the following scenarios:

  • When a repository is moved from one location to another and the original repository is no longer valid but still present in URL links;
  • A stub is pointing to a linked repository on a server that no longer exists (this can introduce at least an eight second delay to resolve the server name);
  • Linked repositories to Compliance are present and no longer in use, causing an timeout.

Use the following steps to define a repository replacement for a repository on a decommissioned server:

  1. Log in to the Archive server, and browse to: \\Configuration_Server\Add-ins\AOnePol
    where Configuration_Server is the name of the Configuration server where the Add-ins shared folder is hosted. If you do not know the Configuration Server name, go to the Status Node in the Admin Console.
  2. Right-click AOnePol, and click New > Text Document.
  3. Name the file AOneRepReplacement.C2C, and open the file in Notepad.
  4. Add the following text to the file:
    [RepReplacement]
    RepositoryRpMultiCountItem=1
    [Original]
    Name0=\OLD_SERVERNAME\Repository1
    [Replacement]
    Name0= \NEW_SERVERNAME\Repository1

    Where \OLD_SERVERNAME\Repository is the old path to the repository on the decommissioned server and \NEW_SERVERNAME\Repository1 is the path to the current location on the new server.
    For example, if you have a repository called 2015 which has been moved from SERVER01 to SERVER02, you would add the following text:
    [RepReplacement]
    RepositoryRpMultiCountItem=1
    [Original]
    Name0=\SERVER01\2015
    [Replacement]
    Name0= \SERVER02\2015

    For additional repositories, you will need to increment the RepositoryRpMultiCountItem value by one and the Name value by one, for example:
    [RepReplacement]
    RepositoryRpMultiCountItem=3
    [Original]
    Name0=\SERVER01\2015
    Name1=\SERVER01\2014
    Name2=\SERVER01\2013
    [Replacement]
    Name0=\SERVER02\2015
    Name1=\SERVER02\2014
    Name2=\SERVER02\2013


  5. Save and close the file.

  6. The next time the Quick Link Client is launched, it sends a request for a message for repository \OLD_SERVERNAME\Repository. The Policy service determines if a replacement repository is present, for example, \NEW_SERVERNAME\Repository. When the replacement repository is found, the Policy service no longer attempts to load the repository \OLD_SERVERNAME\Repository, saving the time taken to resolve the old server.
