high convergence

A setting that controls the degree to which CDS attempts to keep all replicas of a directory consistent. High convergence means CDS makes one attempt to immediately propagate an update to all replicas. If that attempt fails (for example, if one of the replicas is unavailable), the software schedules a skulk for within 1 hour. Under normal circumstances, a skulk occurs at least once every 12 hours on a directory with high convergence. High convergence is expensive, so constant use of it is not advisable. To control convergence, you modify a directory's CDS_Convergence attribute. See also low convergence, medium convergence.
