A system and method which propagates change operations to data items within a metadirectory on a differential basis in order to minimize or eliminate redundant updates to attributes within data items that have not changed, as well as conserve computing resources and transmission bandwidth consumed by update activities in large organizations of data items. A best match entry in the metadirectory is selected using a weighted score process, a determination is made as to exactly which attributes are changed by the update operation, and a differential update is propagated throughout the metadirectory via direct joiner access to the data items, or through remote access such as through LDAP.
A method for synchronization and propagation of metadirectory updates, said metadirectory comprising a plurality of joined heterogeneous data sources, said data sources comprising one or more entries having one or more attributes, said method comprising the steps of:
A computer readable medium encoded with software for synchronization and propagation of metadirectory updates, said metadirectory comprising a plurality of joined heterogeneous data sources, said data sources comprising one or more entries having one or more attributes, said software causing one or more processors to perform the steps of:
A system for synchronization and propagation of metadirectory updates, said metadirectory comprising a plurality of joined heterogeneous data sources, said data sources comprising one or more entries having one or more attributes, said system comprising:
