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. One of the selected objects is retrieved in an ordered manner from the snapshot. 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.
