Synchronization modes

In standard synchronization mode, PingDataSync polls the directory server change log for create, modify, and delete operations on any entry. The server fetches the full entries from both the source and destination endpoints, and compares them to produce the minimal set of changes required to synchronize the destination with the source.

In notification synchronization mode, PingDataSync skips the fetch and compare phases of processing, notifies the destination that a change has happened, and provides the details of the change. Notification mode is currently available for the PingDirectory and Alcatel-Lucent 8661 directory and proxy servers only.
