Distributed Configuration in Documentum

1. Single Repository Distributed Configuration
• A single repository with content stored at the primary site and accessed from remote sites using ACS server and optionally BOCS Servers.
• A single repository with content stored in a distributed storage area and accessed from remote sites using content file servers, ACS Servers and optionally BOCS.
2. Multi Repository Distributed Configuration
• Multiple Repositories that replicate objects among themselves

 Object replication replicates objects, both content and metadata, between repositories. Object replication jobs are user‑defined. In object replication, there is a source and target repository. A replication job replicates objects from the source repository to the target repository. Which objects are replicated and how often the job runs is part of the job’s definition. In the target repository, the replicated objects are marked as replica objects.

• Multiple Repositories organized as a federation

 In a federation, one repository is the governing repository. The remaining repositories are member repositories. Changes to global users and groups and external ACLS in the governing repository are propagated from the governing repository to all the member repositories automatically.
