System and method for synchronization of configuration values between a data base and its input utility
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing configuration values between a database and a remote input utility, comprising:
- configuring said database at a server for input from said input utility at said remote system;
loading configuration values to a control file at said server;
copying said configuration values to a control file at said remote system;
executing said input utility using configuration values from said control file at said remote system to prepare data for input to said database; and
responsive to configuration values at said control file changing with respect to those in said control file at said server, updating configuration values in said control file at said remote system before migrating new data from said input utility to said database.

5. A system for synchronizing configuration values between a database and a remote input utility, comprising:
-
a server including said database, a configuration edit tool, and a first control file;
a remote system including said remote input utility and a second control file;
said configuration edit tool for configuring said database for input from said remote input utility and for loading configuration values to said first control file;
said first control file responsive to modification of said configuration values and to the existence of a connection between said remote system and said server for copying said configuration values to said second control file;
said input utility using configuration values from said second control file to prepare data for input to said database; and
said second control file responsive to configuration values at said first control file changing with respect to those in said second control file for receiving updating configuration values from said first control file for configuring new data for migration from said input utility to said database. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
