When you assign priority, you provide the event queue of the selected Federated repository with priority access to system resources. This is done to help ensure the timely synchronization of its events with the other members of the Federation.
Note
Since system resources are finite, priority should be assigned sparingly, as prioritizing too many repositories effectively cancels out the benefits of prioritization. The limit is 10 repositories or 20% of the total number of repositories, whichever is lower.
To assign priority:
Go to the table row for the repository you want to prioritize and hover over the Priority field. A flag icon will appear.
Click the flag icon to assign priority to the selected repository.
To remove priority from a selected repository, click the flag icon to remove it from the table.
Note
To prioritize an entire Federation you must assign priority to each member of the Federation separately.
