Record Management

To manage records, you can work with information that is stored in PEER_RECORD structures. When records are created, updated, or deleted, the changes made to a graph are replicated to all nodes. The following table identifies the rules for updating and automatically refreshing records.

Management Task	Rule
Updating a record	Keep the expiration time the same or increase it. You cannot decrease the expiration time.
Refreshing a record	Use the PEER_RECORD_FLAG_AUTOREFRESH flag to automatically refresh a record. Only use this flag when the node that is publishing a record is online. Otherwise, do not use this flag.
