Start-BridgeStateTransfer
This PowerShell cmdlet enables the user to initiate a state transfer between the source and target caches connected through an existing NCache Bridge. It triggers on-demand data synchronization from a specified source cache to a target cache within a WAN replication topology, ensuring data consistency across distributed sites. The Start-BridgeStateTransfer cmdlet requires the bridge name, bridge server, and fully qualified source and target cache names. It is commonly used for initial cache population, resynchronization after network outages or node downtime, onboarding new caches or nodes, and enforcing data consistency in disaster recovery or multi-region deployments. The cmdlet also supports secure clusters through credential-based authentication.
Start-BridgeStateTransfer -Name -Server -SourceCache -TargetCache [-Port] [-Credentials] [-NoLogo]
