Abstract
Method and system maintaining “super-objects” in a central administering system, where each super-object is associated with corresponding objects in target systems so that editing of that super-object or of one of its associated objects results in conforming edits for all of the associated objects.
Claims22
A method of administering multiple target systems, where a plurality of the target systems share an entity that each of the plurality of the target systems represents virtually as an object, the method comprising:
- maintaining a super-object in a central administering system, the super-object being associated with each of the respective objects of the plurality of the target systems;
- editing the super-object to update information concerning the entity;
- transmitting a command to each applicable system of the plurality of the target systems so that the respective objects of the applicable systems can be edited to conform with the edited super-object, the applicable systems comprising the plurality of the target systems other than an initiating system of the plurality of the target systems if the information update was initiated in the initiating system.
A central system for administering multiple target systems, where a plurality of the target systems share an entity that each of the plurality of the target systems represents virtually as an object, the central administering system comprising:
- a database for maintaining a super-object, the super-object being associated with each of the respective objects of the plurality of the target systems;
- a processor for processing edits of the super-object that update information concerning the entity;
- a communication module for transmitting a command to each applicable system of the plurality of the target systems so that the respective objects of the applicable systems can be edited to conform with the edited super-object, the applicable systems comprising the plurality of the target systems other than an initiating system of the plurality of the target systems if the information update was initiated in the initiating system.
A central system for administering multiple target systems, where a plurality of the target systems share an entity that each of the plurality of the target systems represents virtually as an object, the central administering system comprising:
- means for maintaining a super-object in the central administering system, the super-object being associated with each of the respective objects of the plurality of the target systems;
- means for processing edits of the super-object to update information concerning the entity;
- means for transmitting a command to each applicable system of the plurality of the target systems so that the respective objects of the applicable systems can be edited to conform with the edited super-object, the applicable systems comprising the plurality of the target systems other than an initiating system of the plurality of the target systems if the information update was initiated in the initiating system.
