11.4.3 Repairing Time Stamps
NOTE: Before using this operation, use the Sync Repair Wizard to make sure that all servers in the
replica ring are communicating properly. See Section 11.8, “Performing Synchronization
Operations,” on page 278 for more information.
This operation provides a new point of reference to the master replica so that all updates to replicas
of the selected partition are current.
This operation is always performed on the master replica of a partition. The master replica does not
need to be the local replica on this server.
Time stamps are placed on objects when they are created or modified, and they must be unique. All
time stamps in a master replica are examined. If any time stamps are postdated to the current
network time, they are replaced with a new time stamp. If the time stamp is current, a new time
stamp is not issued. After all time stamps are consistent in time, a new epoch is declared.
