Method to dynamically detect objects out of sync in an active mirroring environment

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation comprising:

• receiving a request at a local node of an active mirroring environment from a system function to perform a change operation on an object;
• upon determining that the object is out of sync:
• determining whether the local node or a remote node of the active mirroring environment has the most recent changes for the object;
• and
• either:
• upon determining that the local node has the most recent changes for the object, setting a tracking attribute and allowing the operation;
• or
• upon determining that the remote node has the most recent changes for the object, setting a blocking attribute and blocking the operation.

A system, comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• a memory containing a program which when executed by the one or more computer processors performs an operation, the operation comprising:
• receiving a request at a local node of an active mirroring environment from a system function to perform a change operation on an object;
• upon determining that the object is out of sync:
• determining whether the local node or a remote node of the active mirroring environment has the most recent changes for the object;
• and
• either:
• upon determining that the local node has the most recent changes for the object, setting a tracking attribute and allowing the operation;
• or
• upon determining that the remote node has the most recent changes for the object, setting a blocking attribute and blocking the operation.
