1. A method for hybrid Discovery Library Adapter (DLA) book processing in a data processing environment, the method comprising:

  • identifying at an application executing using a processor and a memory, in a first DLA book a first logical group, the first DLA book including a first set of objects constructed according to a Common Data Model (CDM) specification to represent a first set of corresponding instances of resources in the data processing environment at a first time, the first logical group being a grouping of related subset of the first set of objects;

    computing at the application executing using the processor and the memory, a first value corresponding to the first logical group, the first value being usable for ascertaining a difference between the first logical group in the first DLA book and a second logical group in a second DLA book, the second DLA book including a second set of objects constructed according to the CDM specification to represent a second set of corresponding instances of the resources in the data processing environment at a second time;

    computing at the application executing using the processor and the memory, a second value corresponding to the second logical group, the second value being usable for ascertaining a difference between the first logical group and the second logical group;

    determining whether the first value matches the second value;

    identifying, responsive to the determining being affirmative, a change in the first logical group as compared to the second logical group;

    outputting the change to a DLA delta book; and

    transmitting the DLA delta book for loading into a DLA book repository.
