Abstract
System, method, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for hybrid data replication are described. Aspects include identifying a type of database data replication, the type including a combination of replication approaches, and managing replication based on the identified type, including coordinated switching from one replication approach to another automatically with transactional consistency maintained among source and target databases.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for hybrid data replication in a database system environment, the method comprising:
- identifying a type of database data replication, the type including a combination of replication approaches;
- and
- managing replication based on the identified type, including coordinated switching from one replication approach of the combination of replication approaches to another automatically using replication process marker signaling for auto-switching activities to occur during the replication with transactional consistency maintained among source and target databases.
The computer-implemented method of claim 4 further comprising utilizing the compensating components for replication without complete suspension.
A system for hybrid data replication in a database system environment, the system comprising:
- a source database;
- a target database;
- and
- a replication processing system in communication with the source database and target database, the replication processing system configured to identify a type of database data replication, the type including a combination of replication approaches, and configured to manage replication of data from the source database to the target database based on the identified type, including coordinated switching from one replication approach of the combination of replication approaches to another automatically using replication process marker signaling for auto-switching activities to occur during the replication with transactional consistency maintained among the source and target databases.
A computer program product having control logic stored therein embodied within a non-transitory computer readable medium, said control logic enabling a processor to perform hybrid data replication in a database system environment, the control logic comprising:
- computer readable program code enabling a processor to:
- identify a type of database data replication, the type including a combination of replication approaches;
- and
- manage replication based on the identified type, including coordinated switching from one replication approach of the combination of replication approaches to another automatically using replication process marker signaling for auto-switching activities to occur during the replication with transactional consistency maintained among source and target databases.
