To set up syndication between libraries on two IWWCM applications, establish a relationship between a syndicator on the server containing the data to be replicated and a subscriber on the server that will receive the replicated data.

1. Log in to the Portal that contains the data that you want to replicate.

2. Click the main menu , and click...

   Administration | Portal Content | Syndicators

3. Open the syndicator item.

   Option	Description
   Create a new syndicator.	Click Create new syndicator. Specify a name for the syndicator in the Name field. Enter additional information about the syndicator in the Description field. The Syndicator ID and Syndicator URL information is automatically generated, and we cannot change the values for these fields.
   Open an existing syndicator.	For the syndicator we want to open, click (Edit syndicator).

4. Using a different browser window, log in to the WebSphere Portal that will receive replicated data from the syndicator.

5. Click the main menu , and click...

   Administration | Portal Content | Subscribers

6. Open the subscriber item.

   Option	Description
   Create a new subscriber.	Click Create new subscriber. Specify a name for the subscriber in the Name field. Enter additional information about the subscriber in the Description field. The Subscriber ID and Subscriber URL information is automatically generated, and we cannot change the values for these fields.
   Open an existing subscriber.	For the subscriber we want to open, click (Edit subscriber).

7. Copy the required item information from one window to the other, depending on the syndication relationship you are setting up.

   Option	Description
   New syndicator with existing subscriber	Copy the subscriber's name, ID, and URL to the syndicator window.
   Existing syndicator with new subscriber	Copy the syndicator's name, ID, and URL to the subscriber window.
   New syndicator with new subscriber	Copy required information from each window and paste into the other: Copy the subscriber's name, ID, and URL to the syndicator window. Copy the syndicator's name, ID, and URL to the subscriber window.

8. If you are creating a new syndicator, specify which Web Content Management libraries to replicate.
   • Syndication to an existing library is not supported. If you attempt to syndicate a library to a subscriber that already has a library with the same name, an error results.

   • If content from one library (Library A) uses an item from another library (Library B), include both libraries in the syndicator to ensure that all items are syndicated successfully. If you only include Library A in the syndicator, any items in Library A that reference items in Library B are not syndicated, and syndication errors are generated.

   On the syndicator window, complete the following steps:

   1. Click Add libraries.

   2. Select the libraries for replication.

   3. Click OK.

9. Save the new syndicator or subscriber by clicking OK.

   If you are creating the subscriber at the same time as the syndicator, save the syndicator before you save the subscriber.
