Another engine task is to handle the replication of data between domain and enterprise databases. Replication from the management database on the domain manager to the management database on the enterprise manager is carried out by a replication job that runs through the domain manager's engine process.
When replication begins, the engine determines which information needs to be pushed from the domain to the enterprise manager and also which information needs to be pulled from the enterprise down to the domain manager.
Typically, host-specific information, such as inventory attributes, is replicated upward, while configuration information, such as asset groups, is replicated downward.
With each domain manager, a default engine is installed. When the domain manager is linked to an enterprise manager, that engine is configured to perform the domain-to-enterprise replication tasks.
