Some embodiments provide a method for a global manager that manages a logical network configuration for multiple datacenters that each have a local manager for managing the logical network configuration within the datacenter. Based on detecting that a connection to a particular local manager of a particular datacenter has been restored after a period of unavailability, the method identifies a portion of the logical network configuration that is relevant to the particular datacenter. In a series of transactions, the method transfers the identified portion of the logical network configuration to the particular local manager. During the series of transactions, the method identifies modifications to the identified portion of the logical network configuration to be included in the series of transactions. Upon completion of the series of transactions, the method transfers a notification to the particular local manager indicating completion of the series of transactions.
