Foundational Data Sync vs Instance Data Replication for CMDB Sync

[VarunK312799563]

We are planning to sync CMDB data b/w two PROD instances on daily basis. What should be the preferred way Foundational Data Sync (FDS) or Instance Data Replication (IDR)? Have anyone use one of the techniques in their project?

FDS is a relatively new solution and depends on Service Bridge being configured beforehand. If your organization already has Service Bridge, FDS may be a suitable option.

Hi @MattSN We do not have FDS or IDR configured yet, but trying to set it up with SN Vendor help. They recommended FDS for CMDB CI sync, however I am not sure if any other org has implemented CMDB sync using FDS. Hence, I am wondering if we should go for IDR or FDS.
