Internal

When you replicate you are in fact putting your MM in "client" mode, i.e. it will connect to all the known MMs, fetch any new projects which has flows assigned to your MM and consequently transfer any files according to the flows and criteria of those flows.

You can replicate on a:

Global basis, i.e. replicate to all the known MMs, by right-clicking the root MM folder and then click Actions-Replicate
Per Mirror basis, i.e. replicate only to a selected MM, by right-clicking the specific Mirror folder and then click Actions-Replicate
Per Project basis, i.e. replicate only to a specific MM and only a specific Project, by right-clicking the specific Project folder and then click Actions-Replicate
Per Flow basis,  i.e. replicate only to a specific MM and only a specific Project's one Flow, by right-clicking the specific Flow folder and then click Actions-Replicate

The subsequent Monitor screen will show you a live view of the replication process.

Monitor

Master Service Clients - Displays a list of master services serving client MMs connecting to your MirrorMaster
Client Service Sessions - Displays a list of MirrorMasters to which you are connecting and replicating with as a client.

 

NOTE: At any point you can Cancel a replication session with another MM by using the provided cancel button and/or Pause and Resume a live client session.  The Monitor screen is refreshed every second and if your MM is not slowed down using the Delay property, then you may not see all the steps of a replication process.  At any point you can also close the Monitor screen using Close or OK buttons, and subsequently again open it in the same way you started the replication but instead of clicking Replicate, simply click Monitor.
