Automated Lost Packet Recovery
For IP-connected sites:
(UDP and TCP can be used between client and server hosts )
- For example, cleartool hostinfo works
- Could be WAN, or dial-up or VPN connection
- chepoch -actual
- Sets the local “believed” state of the replica to its actual state
- More accurate than recoverpacket
- Does not require the use of lshistory
- Does not require the manual entry of epoch numbers
- The new sync export script can use this new capability, if desired
