Abstract

A snapshot of selected objects in a source repository is created in response to the user-initiated replication. The snapshot is designated as a snapshot replication job. Unsynchronized objects in a target destination are detected by comparing a state of the selected objects in the snapshot with a current state of the target destination at the time of execution of the snapshot replication job. An object identification (ID) and a state ID are sent to the target destination and used to locate and compare the selected object with a current state of the selected object in the target destination.
