Use the Business Continuity tab to determine batch upload behavior. You can configure a remote site to automatically select a central site for load balancing or to upload batches using a priority list of central sites.

Batch Upload Settings

Use Batch Upload Settings to specify how batches are uploaded:

Automatically balance the load among available central sites

Uploads batches by automatically alternating between all available central sites. Batches are sent using a round robin technique. Select this option if all central sites are normally used to process batches.

This option includes all central sites in the system, whether they are listed in the Available list or the Assigned list. When you select this option, the Available and Assigned lists do not apply; the lists apply only to the Select central site by priority option.

Select central site by priority

Selects a prioritized list of central sites for uploading batches. Set the order of selected sites to use in the event that sites become unavailable.

Polling Control

Use the Polling Control to specify which location controls polling.

• Central site: The same polling options are defined at the central site for all remote sites assigned the remote site profile. The polling settings on the display are subsequently enabled.

• Remote site: Polling options are defined independently at each remote site. The polling settings are disabled on the display.

Add

Assigns a site to the central site priority list.

Remove

Removes a central site from the priority central site list.

Up and Down Arrows

Click the up and down arrows to move a site up or down in the priority list. Or, you can drag a site to another position on the list.
