5. © 2011 Autodesk Basic Vault Configuration

6. © 2011 Autodesk Basic Vault Configuration  One physical server with all Vault components  Multiple clients connected to share and store files Web Server File Store Database

7. © 2011 Autodesk Vault Server Components  Autodesk Data Management Console (ADMS)  Internet Information Services (IIS)  Microsoft SQL Server®  File store

8. © 2011 Autodesk Remote Connections  Home office and remote user can connect through the Internet  Opening a port and a FQDN required

9. © 2011 Autodesk Secure Remote Connections  Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate can be used to secure the connection

10. © 2011 Autodesk Separating Services  Separate Vault server components to improve performance  Components on dedicated servers get all server resources Application ServerFile Store ServerDatabase Server

11. © 2011 Autodesk Multi-site Architecture

12. © 2011 Autodesk Multi-site Architecture  Vault can scale with your organization  SQL Database is shared and files are replicated between sites

13. © 2011 Autodesk File Store Replication  Each site stores files uploaded by the local users  Files are replicated by a schedule or on demand  Server need adequate space for quantity of files Web/HTTP

14. © 2011 Autodesk File Store Replication Scheduling  Replication schedule at 12:00am  All folders are replicated  Optimize by specifying folders

15. © 2011 Autodesk Full Replication Architecture

16. © 2011 Autodesk Workgroup Site Terminology  Site – A location where the Vault server software is installed  Workgroup – Sites connecting to the same SQL database Site

17. © 2011 Autodesk Workgroup Site/Publisher Terminology  Publisher – the first SQL server configured  Subscriber – SQL servers replicating to the Publisher Site/SubscriberSite

20. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Setup

21. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Setup  Create a snapshot share folder  Enable Replication Workgroup Site/Publisher

22. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Setup  Install second SQL Server  Configure Publisher to connect to new Subscriber Workgroup Site/PublisherSite/Subscriber

23. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Setup  Install Vault Server Application Workgroup Site/PublisherSite/Subscriber

24. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Setup  Additional Sites can be added Workgroup Site/PublisherSite/SubscriberSite

25. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Monitoring

26. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Monitoring Tools  MS SQL Server Replication Monitor  Setup SQL Database Mail

27. © 2011 Autodesk How to Monitor  Setting warnings and thresholds  Viewing performance measurements  Viewing detailed synchronization statistics

28. © 2011 Autodesk What to Monitor  Imminent subscription expiration  Exceeding the specified synchronization time  Falling short of processing the specified number of rows in a given amount of time.  Snapshot Agent

29. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Warnings  Warn if a subscription will expire within the threshold  Warn if a merge length for LAN connections exceeds the threshold  Warn if rows merged per second for LAN connections is less than the threshold

30. © 2011 Autodesk Replication Subscription Expiration  Synchronization within the retention period  Default retention period is 14 days  Subscribers must be rebuilt if outside of period

31. © 2011 Autodesk Backup & Restore

32. © 2011 Autodesk Backup & Restore  Develop and test a backup and restore strategy  Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) Workgroup Site/PublisherSite/SubscriberSite

33. © 2011 Autodesk What to Backup  All Vault databases: Knowledgevaultmaster, vaults & libraries.  System databases: Master & MSDB  Distribution database: Autodeskreplication  File Store  SQL snapshot folder  SQL Service master key

34. © 2011 Autodesk Restore Requirements  Restored to a computer with the same name  Same SQL Server edition as the original  Restored within 14 days  File store validation needs to be run

35. © 2011 Autodesk Keys to Success  Databases and file stores backed up regularly  Each site should backup their file store  Regular file store validation checks  Test environments  Regular monitoring  Constant synchronization within the retention period

36. © 2011 Autodesk Best Practices  Develop and test a backup and restore strategy  Create thresholds and alerts  Monitor the replication topology  Establish performance baselines
