Abstract
A mechanism is provided for converting after image data into a delta level change. An after image business graph is first transformed into a generic after image business graph. Another transformation is performed transforming the generic after image business graph into a second after image business graph, using delta information from another enterprise information system is used to create a delta business graph. A final transformation is performed to convert the delta business graph into a generic delta business graph.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for processing after image data, the method comprising:
- receiving a first after image business graph, wherein the first after image business graph comprises a result of a query against a data source after the data source has changed, and wherein the first after image business graph does not show changes in the data source;
- performing a first transformation on the first after image business graph to produce a generic after image business graph;
- performing a second transformation on the generic after image business graph to form a second after image business graph;
- receiving information defining a delta, wherein the delta represents changes to the first after image business graph;
- performing a third transformation of the second after image business graph to form a delta business graph using the delta;
- and
- performing a fourth transformation of the delta business graph to form a generic delta business graph, wherein the generic delta business graph shows changes in the data source.
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus system;
- a communications system connected to the bus system;
- a memory connected to the bus system, wherein the memory includes a set of instructions;
- and
- a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to receive a first after image business graph, wherein the first after image business graph comprises a result of a query against a data source after the data source has changed, and wherein the first after image business graph does not show changes in the data source;
- perform a first transformation on the first after image business graph to produce a generic after image business graph;
- perform a second transformation on the generic after image business graph to form a second after image business graph;
- receive information defining a delta, wherein the delta represents changes to the first after image business graph;
- perform a third transformation of the second after image business graph to form a delta business graph using the delta;
- and perform a fourth transformation of the delta business graph to form a generic delta business graph, wherein the generic delta business graph shows changes in the data source.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium including computer usable program code embodied therein for processing after image data, the computer program product including;
- computer usable program code for receiving a first after image business graph, wherein the first after image business graph comprises a result of a query against a data source after the data source has changed, and wherein the first after image business graph does not show changes in the data source;
- computer usable program code for performing a first transformation on the first after image business graph to produce a generic after image business graph;
- computer usable program code for performing a second transformation on the generic after image business graph to form a second after image business graph;
- computer usable program code for receiving information defining a delta, wherein the delta represents changes to the first after image business graph;
- computer usable program code for performing a third transformation of the second after image business graph to form a delta business graph using the delta;
- and
- computer usable program code for performing a fourth transformation of the delta business graph to form a generic delta business graph, wherein the generic delta business graph shows changes in the data source.
