Method and system for semi-synchronously exporting data
First Claim
1. An apparatus for semi-synchronously exporting data, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
one or more sequences of instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to carry out the steps of;
receiving, by a web server, a request for data from a client computer;
synchronously exporting, by the web server, a portion of the requested data, accessed from a database, to the client computer in response to receiving the data request from the client computer;
creating, by the web server, an export record after receiving the request for data from the client computer and after synchronously exporting the portion of the requested data;
asynchronously exporting, by the web server, a remainder portion of the requested data to the client computer subsequent to the web server synchronously exporting the portion of the requested data to the client computer, the asynchronous exporting comprising;
sending, by the web server, a token to the client computer, a receipt of the token enables the client computer to be used for other purposes while waiting for receipt of the remainder of the requested data, the token enabling the client computer to execute a process in the background of the client computer to periodically poll the web server;
processing, by at least one of a plurality of batch processing servers, the requested data, by accessing the database, in response to accessing the export record;
updating, by the at least one of the plurality of batch processing servers, the export record to reflect the processing of the data request; and
exporting, by the web server, the remainder of the requested data to the client computer in response to identifying an update of the export record.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for semi-synchronously exporting data. A web server creates an export record in response to receiving a data request from a client computer. The web server sends a token to the client computer, wherein receipt of the token enables the client computer to be used for other purposes while waiting for receipt of requested data. At least one of multiple batch processing servers processes the data request in response to accessing the export record. At least one of the multiple batch processing servers updates the export record to reflect the processing of the data request. The web server exports the processed data request to the client computer in response to identifying an update of the export record.
