  • Patent number: 5870761
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for duplicating at a destination site changes made to data at a source site. According to the method a plurality of streams are established between the source site and the destination site. The plurality of streams are used in parallel to propagate changes made at the source site to the destination site. A record of transactions that made changes that need to be propagated from the source site to the destination site is maintained at the source site. Before propagating changes made by a transaction to the destination site on a stream of the plurality of streams, the record of transactions is inspected to identify a set of transactions whose changes are not known to have been made permanent at the destination site. It is then determined whether the transaction could possibly depend on any transaction in the set of transactions.
