Propagating assets to other Xmedia Servers
Configuring Xmedia Servers for asset propagation
For an Xmedia Server to propagate assets to one or more recipient servers, the recipient
servers’ location must be defined in the Propagation Locations settings on the
propagation server’s Xmedia Server Control Panel (figure
18-2 ).
Figure 18-2. The Propagation Locations settings on a propagation server and recipient server
The following table provides examples of propagation configurations in which the
Propagation Locations settings determine the relationship and direction of propagation.
Note that recipient servers’ Propagation Locations settings are not set unless the server is
also intended to be used as a propagation server, as well as a recipient server.
