Send Updates

When you send updates from a replica, the Novell® eDirectoryTM objects in that replica are broadcast from the server the replica resides on to all the other replicas of the partition, including the master replica.

The other replicas of the partition will combine the new objects sent with the objects they already have. If the other replicas have data in addition to the data sent to them, they will retain that data.

Although eDirectory automatically synchronizes the directory data among replicas (so that each replica is sent the most recently updated directory objects), this operation lets you manually synchronize the directory objects of replicas if any replicas get out of sync.

Partition
