Content Distribution to Distribution Points -Part II
Content Distribution to Distribution Points -Part II
From Primary server To Secondary Server DP
Once you Add a secondary server DP from the primary server. The primary server distmgr will pickup the notification. It will then compress the contents of the package so that it can send to the site down. Content is send through the file based replication. But the instruction \ package details reaches the secondary server using DRS. Once the package is compressed it will ask the scheduler to schedule a job and the sender will the compressed file to the secondary server.
Note: The highlighted items are the checkpoints to understand the flow so that if broken we can easily find it out

We see here that the PCK file which is compressed content and the instruction file .ID5 created by the scheduler is send to the secondary. The instruction file helps the despooler at the secondary to understand what to do with the PCK file received.
Till the package reaches the server you will find the package status in in progress mode
Secondary Server
In the secondary server \inboxes\despoolr.box\receive which is SMS_SITE share receive the content. When it is being processed you might failed to execute if the DRS replication delay is there as the package information comes through DRS. You can confirm this running the query
You could see in the above result that the secondary server has not got the information w.r.t to secondary server for type 1.

Once the package is distributed successfully the secondary site DB is updated with the pkgstatus and the same reaches the primary through DRS and then you can see the status changing from in progress to success.
Hope this helps in tracking the flow on distributing a package to secondary server DP

Very helpful thank you. Can you suggest what to do in the absence of the above "expected behavior"?. example: in my situation, I have a new 2012 environment (not yet in production). All is well with Primary site. secondary site and all DPs are installed "successfully". Applications are not successfully getting to DPs (secondary site only). Following the above, it seems they are being sent by the sender successfully but are not being picked up by the despooler. Console package status indicates "The conent files for package ABC00017 have not yet arrived from the source site XYZ". I am sure it is some basic configuration I am overlooking but I have not found the cause yet. any suggestions of what to tweak or even what to look for to identify the cause would be appreciated.
