Synchronization process

The System performs the following steps in synchronization of object data.

Procedure

  1. The nodes compare metadata between the vaults. If the revision of the objects metadata differs between vaults in the mirror, the synchronization process starts.
  2. The process reads the metadata from both vaults.
  3. The process compares last modified, last changed, last touched, timestamps on both versions of each object.
  4. The more recent objects metadata is written out to both vaults so it matches on both vaults.
  5. The process reassembles the object from the most recent content components.
  6. The process writes the resulting object to the Slicestor nodes which previously had the incorrect content.
