Abstract
A method for performing conditional copying of a data object in a data environment to prevent a copying operation failure includes receiving a request to copy the data object to a destination source, the request including an identification of a first source data object, a second source data object and indication of an order of preference between the first data object and the second data object for copying the data object; determining based on the order that data object should be copied from the first source data object; examining a first source indicator to determine if the first source data object is available for copying; based on the determination, copying the data object from the first source data object to the destination source, when the first source data object is available and copying the copying the data object from the second source data object to the destination source, when the first source data object is not available; and creating an indication of successful copying of the data object to the destination source. The first source data object and the second source data object both contain the data object and the first source data object and the second source data object are active-active data objects that are replicas of each other.
