Remarks

For help in understanding the attribute definition template, see Reading NDS Attribute Type Definitions.

The possible values of this attribute and their meanings are:

0

Low

Do not propagate updates as they come in. Rather, wait for a periodic synchronization to update any replicas. Synchronizations can be done at a low frequency to save resources. Partitions with low convergence and pending updates should be synchronized at least once every 24 hours. See the Low Convergence Sync Interval and Low Convergence Reset Time attributes for details on setting the convergence cycle.

1

High

Make one attempt to propagate an update to all replicas when it comes in. If this fails, schedule a synchronization for the next interval time.

High is the default for this attribute.
