First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system having a table of keys for synchronizing related data elements between a first and second storage system, each key comprising:
- a universal identifier corresponding to a data element in the first and second storage system;
a first record identifier corresponding to the data element in the first storage system; and
a second record identifier corresponding to the data element stored in the second storage system.

9. A system for synchronizing related data elements between a first and second storage system, comprising:
-
a header reading system for receiving an instruction from the first storage system, wherein the instruction has a first header that includes a first identifier;
a table interface for accessing a table to identify a second identifier based on the first identifier;
a header generation system for generating a second header corresponding to the second storage system; and
an instruction passing system for passing the instruction and the second header to the second storage system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for synchronizing related data elements between a first and second storage system, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an instruction having a first header from the first storage system, wherein the first header includes a first identifier;
identifying the second storage system;
accessing a table to cross-reference the first identifier with a second identifier;
generating a second header that corresponds to the second storage system and attaching the second header to the instruction; and
sending the instruction to the second storage system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
