After clicking the Create New File Collaboration Session button, a new File Collaboration Applet is created in the open Applet tabs section called File Collaboration.

 

 

Below are a list of general fields and their descriptions:

 

Application ID

Unique system generated application identifier

Session Name

Description of this file collaboration session.  This name should be unique.

Transfer Block Size (KB)

The block size in Kilobytes used to transfer files to hosts.  Larger sizes will yield faster transfers on fast networks, but will consume more memory in the Broker and agents.

Verify Checksum

If checked then source and target checksums will be calculated and verified for all file transfers.  There is a small overhead associated with verifying checksums and we recommend only enabling this options for initial testing or if you suspect files are being corrupted some how.

Session Threads

Number of concurrent file lock and change event operations that can be performed at the same time.

File Copy Threads

Number of concurrent file transfers resulting from real-time event detection that can be performed at the same time. Set to low value for increased bandwidth throttling.

Background Scan Thread Count

Number of concurrent background file transfers resulting from the initial synchronization process that may be performed at one time.

Timeout (Seconds)

Number of seconds to wait for a response from any host before performing retry logic

Allow Write Access During Sync.

If enabled, users will be allowed write access to source files that are currently being synchronized.  If not checked, then users will be denied write access to source files during synchronization, but will be able to open them in read-only mode.

Allow Delete Detection During Sync.

If this option is enabled and you have target protection enabled, and we can determine if a file or folder has been deleted since the session was stopped, then the detected file(s) will be deleted from all hosts.  If not enabled then the deleted files will be brought back to any host where it was removed.

Auto Load

If checked then this file collaboration session will be automatically loaded (but not necessarily started) when the Hub is started.

Auto Start

If checked then this  file collaboration session will automatically be started when the Hub is started. Note: The Auto Load checkbox must be enabled for this option to work.
