Synchronized Metadata Reference

Identify which metadata syncs between Federation members and which settings stay local.

This reference describes the metadata that is synchronized among Federation members and the repository configuration settings that are not synchronized.

Synchronized Metadata

Federation members synchronize the following metadata.

Category	Metadata
Folders	length (the size of the folder in bytes), properties
Files	checksum, properties, uploadedBy, lastFileModified, deploymentDate*

Metadata introduced in release 7.90.1. Synchronization is controlled by the system property artifactory.federated.mirror.events.upload.info.propagate.enabled. By default, this flag is set to false.

artifactory.federated.mirror.events.upload.info.propagate.enabled=true

Set this flag to true on both the source and target JPDs to synchronize this metadata.

Settings That Aren't Synchronized

The following repository configuration settings are not synchronized among Federation members.

Setting	Description
proxy	Proxy configuration
maxNumberOfThreads	Maximum number of threads
modificationDate	Repository modification date
blackedOut	Blacked-out status
repoLayout	Repository layout
key	Repository key
primaryKeyPairDescriptor	Primary key pair descriptor
secondaryKeyPairDescriptor	Secondary key pair descriptor
xrayConfig	Xray configuration (see the xrayConfig exception)
cdnRedirectConfig	CDN redirect configuration
propertySets	Property sets
cdnRedirectRepo	CDN redirect repository
downloadRedirect	Download redirect configuration

For more information about these settings, see Repository Configuration JSON.

xrayConfig exception

xrayConfig is synchronized once, at the moment a member is added to the Federation. This copies the Xray configuration, including Enable Indexing in Xray, from the JPD where the add-member operation is performed to the new member. Xray configuration changes made afterward on an existing member are not propagated to other members. See Synchronization and Conflict Resolution for details.
