Method, a Server, a System and a Computer Program Product for Copying Data From a Source Server to a Target Server

A server comprising a processor, memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the server to perform at least the following:

• copying data from the server to a target server, wherein said data is associated with a metadata having a set of properties;
• mapping the metadata to a metadata structure of the target server, where the server is configured to perform
• determining common names for properties being comprised in the metadata, wherein a common name defines a general concept for a property in question;
• determining if the metadata structure of the target server comprises corresponding properties having the same common names;
• and if so,
• copying—together with the data—such properties of the metadata that have matching common names in the metadata structure of the target server.

A system comprising at least a source server comprising a processor, memory including computer program code, and a target server comprising a processor, memory including computer program code, wherein the cooperation of the source server and the target server causes the system to perform at least the following:

• copying data from the source server to a target server, wherein said data is associated with a metadata having a set of properties;
• mapping the metadata to a metadata structure of the target server, wherein the system is configured to perform:
• determining common names for properties being comprised in the metadata, wherein a common name defines a general concept for a property in question;
• determining if the metadata structure of the target server comprises corresponding properties having the same common names and;
• if so,
• copying—together with the data—such properties of the metadata that have matching common names in the metadata structure of the target server.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising:

• code for mapping metadata of data to the metadata structure of the target server, the metadata having a set of properties;
• code for determining common names for properties being comprised in the metadata, wherein a common name defines a general concept for a property in question;
• code for determining if the metadata structure of the target server comprises corresponding properties having the same common names;
• and if so,
• code for copying—together with the data—such properties of the metadata that have matching common names in the metadata structure of the target server.
