Table 9. Replication Details Workflows
Workflow Description of operation
Check Replication Status Retrieves the status of a replication. You can use the replication value as a parameter in another workflow.
Get Replication Configuration Retrieves the configuration details of a replication. You can use the replication value as a parameter in another workflow.
Get Replication List Retrieves a list of all the incoming or outgoing replications from a vCenter Server. You can use the replication value as a parameter in another workflow.
