Abstract

A current time associated with a first received notification of a new object in a data set of a first system is accessed and a replication time is set to the current time. For each notification received regarding a new object in the data set of the first system, the new object is added to the replication queue. The new objects added to the queue are assigned the replication time until a specified maximum number of new objects have been added to the replication queue. Afterwards, new objects are added to the queue with no assigned replication time. When the objects in the queue are to be replicated, only the objects with the assigned replication time are copied from the queue to a second system. A new replication time is set to a new current time associated with confirmation of receipt of the copied objects received from the second system.
