US 2018/0004617 A1 · MANAGING SETS OF TRANSACTIONS FOR REPLICATION

Abstract

Methods and systems for managing sets of transactions for replication are provided. A system includes a number of origination nodes forming a source array. A sequence number generator generates sequence numbers based, at least in part, on a time interval during which a transaction is received. A subset manager groups transactions into subsets based, at least in part, on the sequence number.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A method for managing sets of transactions for replication, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of transactions in a source array that are to be replicated to a destination array;
associating each of the transactions with a cluster wide correlator, wherein the cluster wide correlator is created from a time interval during which the transactions is received;
and
grouping the transactions into a set based, at least in part, on the cluster wide correlator, wherein the set corresponds to transactions received during the time interval.
