8.6.2 Transfer Types

This section provides information about the different transfer types, listed in order from simplest to most complex. ■ Section 8.6.2.1, Local Transfer ■ Section 8.6.2.2, Pull Transfer ■ Section 8.6.2.3, Push Transfer

8.6.2.1 Local Transfer

A local transfer is a transfer between local archives, which belong to collections that both the source and target Oracle Content Server instances can reach through a mapped or a mounted drive. An outgoing provider is not required. This type of transfer is typically used to combine the batch files of two archives. Figure 8–16 Local Transfer

8.6.2.2 Pull Transfer

A pull transfer is a transfer that is owned by the proxied remote Oracle Content Server instance, which is the instance that is the target of the outgoing provider. ■ Multiple pull transfers can be concurrent. ■ If you are running a pull transfer across a firewall, you might need to configure the firewall to permit the outgoing providers socket to pass through it. Note: If you are transferring between Oracle Content Server instances on a shared file system, the mapped or mounted drive must be available to both Oracle Content Server instances. The computers must be on and logged in as a user who has system access to both Oracle Content Server instances. Note: In Archiver, the term proxied refers to any Oracle Content Server instance to which the local instance is connected through an outgoing provider. This does not have to be a proxied instance of the master Oracle Content Server instance. Managing System Migration and Archiving 8-47 Figure 8–17 Pull Transfer

8.6.2.3 Push Transfer

A push transfer is a transfer that is owned by the local Oracle Content Server instance, which is the instance on which the outgoing provider is set up. ■ For performance monitoring of a push transfer, you also should set up an outgoing provider from the target proxied Oracle Content Server instance back to the source local Oracle Content Server instance. This talkback provider can then notify the source Oracle Content Server instance when each transfer is complete. A push transfer will work without the talkback provider, but the source Oracle Content Server instance would not be aware of transfer completion or problems. ■ Only one push transfer can be in progress at a time. ■ If you are running a push transfer across a firewall, you might need to configure the firewall to permit the both providers sockets to pass through it.
