Abstract
A method and apparatus for replicating data among sites is provided. The method allows changes to the same body of data to be replicated synchronously to some destination sites and asynchronously to other destination sites. Such mixed propagation configurations allow synchronous updating to selected remote copies of replicated data where data integrity is a high priority, and asynchronous propagation to remaining copies of replicated data in order to allow transactions to be committed locally regardless of whether the transaction is committed at a remote copy of the replicated data. The propagation mode is selectable by a user on a site-to-site basis for each replicated body of data, thus providing a mix of availability and consistency that is not possible in purely synchronous or purely asynchronous replication systems.
