One-time Synchronization

HP AutoSYNC User’s Guide522580-015

3-17

Reporting Outcome of the Synchronization

You specify the alternate program names through the BACKUP and RESTORE
options.

Number of Files per BACKUP Process

BACKUP performance degrades significantly when the number of files is large. To
avoid performance degradation and limits in the BACKUP program, AutoSYNC
restricts the number of files it assigns to any one BACKUP process. AutoSYNC starts
multiple BACKUP processes, in sequence, to process all the files it is synchronizing.
The default number of files per BACKUP process is 1000.

You can configure the maximum number of files for each BACKUP process with the
MAXBACKUP option.

Reporting Outcome of the Synchronization

For a one-time synchronization, AutoSYNC writes status information to a temporary log
file and, when the synchronization is complete, summarizes the results. Specify the
LOGFILE option to retain the log file.

Preserving Security Attributes on Remote
Destinations

LICENSE and PROGID Attributes

The LICENSE and PROGID attributes apply to object files. They are managed
carefully by the NSK file system to preserve system security. The basic security rules
that apply to all operations, including those performed by AutoSYNC, are as follows:

Only the local Super user ID can set the LICENSE attribute.

Only a file’s local owner, local group manager, or the local Super user can set the
PROGID attribute.

No remote user, not even the Super user, can set the LICENSE or PROGID attributes.

If you synchronize a LICENSEd or PROGIDed object file to a destination on the same
system, the attributes are preserved if you have the authority to set those attributes in
the first place. You must be the Super user to preserve the LICENSE attribute; you
must be the file owner (or the owner’s manager or the Super user) to preserve the
PROGID attribute.

If you synchronize such an object file to a remote system, the file is moved, but those
attributes are removed. AutoSYNC issues a warning message for each file that has its
attributes removed.

To synchronize object files to a remote system and preserve the LICENSE and
PROGID attributes, you must:
