SharePoint Elements by Scope

This excerpt was taken straight from the MSDN but I’ve blogged this, just in case it gets archived. I believe it’s extremely useful when developing custom solutions for SharePoint.

SharePoint Content Deployment Alternatives

February 23, 2008 Simeon Lobo Leave a comment

While the out-of-the-box SharePoint content deployment features can be restrictive; allowing only one-way replication of content, Syntergy offer a solution with their Syntergy Replicator product. If you are ever faced with an international replication scenario, I would suggest that you consider this product; noting that workflow instances are not replicated (see next paragraph for more details). Syntergy’s products are not freeware and come at a price.  

While Syntergy Replicator allows for two-way replication of SharePoint content, I have faced a situation around the replication of workflow instances. Workflow instance entities can only be actioned on the server on which they have been instantiated. While the workflow instance entities (workflow tasks, for example) are replicated faithfully, the workflow instances that are related to these tasks are not replicated across. Unfortunately, work-arounds have to be built for this scenario as international users attempting to action a workflow task are presented with an error message in SharePoint.

Another product from Syntergy called Presentation Publisher that is still in Beta (as of this writing) has the ability to replicate web parts and layouts.

In my experience, Syntergy have good support personnel and quality assurance teams in the U.S. and Canada who are always ready to help.
