Description

According to the HCL product documentation, Replicators specifies the number of Replicator tasks that can run concurrently on the server.
Important note from the HCL docs: You must shut down and restart the server for this setting to take effect. (For a change to take effect, a complete server shutdown with subsequent restart is required.)
Multiple parallel replicators are particularly useful on hub and cluster servers, because replications to different targets can then run in parallel.
Alternatively — or just for a single session — additional replicators can also be started at runtime via the console command load replica.

Example configuration

Replicators=3
With Replicators=3, the server starts three Replicator tasks in parallel on the next boot. The actually sensible value depends on hardware, the number of replication targets, and load; HCL gives no numeric recommendation in the product documentation.

Notes & pitfalls

  • According to HCL, changes only take effect after a server shutdown and restart.
  • Cluster replication has its own parameter: Cluster_Replicators (see HCL docs for Cluster_Replicators).
  • According to HCL there is no direct GUI equivalent; the value can be maintained via the NOTES.INI Settings tab of a Configuration document.
