Abstract
System, method, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for directing a data replication environment through policy declaration are described. Aspects include identifying a policy declaration defining a replication environment, and processing the policy declaration to instantiate the replication environment according to parameters established in the policy declaration.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for directing data replication in a database system environment, the method comprising:
- identifying a policy declaration defining a replication environment declared in a hierarchical policy declaration document;
- and
- processing the policy declaration to instantiate the replication environment according to parameters, including precedence among replication entities, established in the policy declaration.
A system for policy-driven data replication in a database system environment, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- replicate data in a source database from at least one publisher to at least one subscriber to the data in a target database by identifying a policy declaration declared in a hierarchical policy declaration document and processing the policy declaration to instantiate configured replication components according to parameters, including precedence among replication entities, established in the policy declaration.
A tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a policy declaration defining a replication environment declared in a hierarchical policy declaration document;
- and
- processing the policy declaration to instantiate the replication environment according to parameters, including precedence among replication entities, established in the policy declaration.
