Data routing refers how data is transferred to or from remote servers. The settings for restricting the flows through non-USA regions are only available when your top-level, or root, folder is set to a non-USA geographic region.

There are two options for restricting data routing to a geographic region. You can apply a global restriction to your site so that all data routing is restricted to a geographic region, or you can apply individual restrictions to each remote server, allowing you to configure individual remote servers to use either the default USA geographic region or the geographic region of your top-level, or root, folder.

A site administrator can enforce the geographic region of your data routing for all remote servers in your site. Use the Data Routing setting of your site's Data Governance section to enable this for your entire site.

To enforce geographic region for the data routing of a specific remote server, edit the Remote Server configuration and update its Data Regional Routing setting.

Changing the data routing setting will take immediate effect for all new connections and new data transfers. Existing connections will continue until their data transfer is complete to ensure that there is no downtime or interruption of data transmission.
