To run the SyncRate tool, you need two files, both of which you will need to download:

  1. The SyncRate driver jar file
  2. The SyncRate configuration file

The driver jar file is the executable that you will run to perform the test. The configuration file tells SyncRate how the test should be run.

To run this tool, you will also need access to a DuraCloud space. If you are not yet a DuraCloud subscriber, you can use a test account. If you are a subscriber with administrative access to an Enterprise account, you can create your own space to use for these tests. If you are using a Preservation or Preservation Plus account, you can either use one of your existing spaces (some test content will be stored there), or submit a support ticket to have a temporary space created for this purpose.

Configuration

Open the syncrate-config.properites file in a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad, TextEdit, or whichever editor you prefer is fine.) You will see a set of configuration parameters which you will need to set for your test to run.

  • host=[host]

    • The host value should point to your DuraCloud instance. You'll want to replace "[host]" with something like "myaccount.duracloud.org".
  • spaceId=[spaceId]

  • user=[user]

  • pass=[password]

  • numfiles=[numfiles]

  • filesize=[filesize-in-MB]

  • threads=[numthreads]

  • upload=false
