6.1 Oracle Internet Directory Replication Overview
To run Oracle Internet Directory in a replication environment means that you have
more than one Oracle Internet Directory, each with its own OracleAS Metadata
Repository. The Oracle Internet Directory instances synchronize the data in the
metadata repositories so that the data in the repositories are "loosely consistent". This
means that the data in the repositories are not guaranteed to be synchronized in "real
time", but the data become identical within an acceptable time interval.
