Enabling synchronization with a difference unaware data source
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- requesting, by a first computer, changes in current data records;
receiving, from a first synchronization computer, changes from a previous export of data records from a difference unaware information repository, the changes from the previous export of data records being changes between a difference unaware current state of associated data records and the previous export of data records from the difference unaware information repository;
receiving, from a second synchronization computer, changes from a previous export of data records stored in a difference aware information repository configured to track changes in data records for each data records entry within its own repository;
mapping, by the first computer, the received changes from the previous export of data records from the difference unaware information repository and the received changes since the previous export of data records from the difference aware information repository to corresponding form fields in a master data records list to create an updated master data records list;
saving, by the first computer, the updated master data records list; and
forwarding, from the first computer to the second synchronization computer, the updated master data records list.

Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for updating a master data list with data from a difference unaware information repository and a difference aware information repository. A master synchronization engine may synchronize to the difference unaware information repository and the difference aware information repository via connectors coupled to each information repository. The difference unaware information repository exports all the data stored within the repository to its respective connector. The connector determines the changes made to the data since the last synchronization and the changes are forwarded to the master synchronization engine. The difference aware information repository is capable of determining the changes made to the stored data since the last synchronization and forwards the changes to its connector. Each connector forwards the changes to the data in their respective information repositories to a database which updates the master data list.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
request changes in current data records; receive, from a first synchronization computer, changes from a previous export of data records from a difference unaware information repository, the changes from the previous export of data records being changes between a difference unaware current state of associated data records and the previous export of data records from the difference unaware information repository; receive, from a second synchronization computer, changes from a previous export of associated data records stored in a difference aware information repository configured to track changes in data records for each data records entry within its own repository; map the received changes from the previous export of data records from the difference unaware information repository and the received changes since the previous export of associated data records from the difference aware information repository to corresponding form fields in a master data records list to create an updated master data records list; save the updated master data records list; and forward to the second synchronization computer, the updated master data records list. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
