6.5 Optimizing Replication Environment Performance

Use the Take Control and Snapshot configuration parameters settings to optimize replication performance. These settings are global and affect all replications.

Table 6-3 lists the configuration parameters on the PlateSpin Configuration page (https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/platespinconfiguration/) that control the replication environment with the default values.
