Blending single-master and multi-master data synchronization techniques

A computer-readable physical storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform acts of:

• accessing an LOB server for LOB data and an office server comprising a suite of applications for facilitating collaboration between users and user systems, for office data via a hybrid client including an LOB client component and an office client component;
• storing portions of the LOB data and the office data in a cache of the LOB client component of the hybrid client as hybrid data;
• synchronizing changes to the hybrid data to the LOB server and the office server during an online mode based on the changes to the hybrid data made in an offline mode;
• and
• updating an LOB entity instance identifier and hash code in the portion of office data stored in a native storage in response to the LOB entity instance being synchronized from the cache to the office server.

A computer-implemented method, comprising acts of:

• surfacing business data of a business server and application data of an office server in a hybrid form of a hybrid client having a business client component for implementing business processes and an office client component for implementing a suite of applications that facilitate collaboration between users and user systems, the hybrid form presented via an office native UI;
• storing the business data and the application data in a client cache as hybrid data;
• performing changes to at least one of the application data or the business data in the hybrid form during an offline mode;
• synchronizing the changes in the hybrid data to the business server and the office server during an online mode;
• and
• configuring a processor to execute instructions stored in memory that perform the acts of surfacing, storing, performing, and synchronizing.

A computer-readable physical storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor enable a system, comprising:

• a hybrid client configured to perform online and offline manipulation of hybrid data, the hybrid client interfaces to both a single-master system and a multi-master system;
• a storage component of the hybrid client configured to store the hybrid data, the hybrid data associated with single-master data common to both the single-master system and the multi-master system;
• and
• a synchronization component of the hybrid client configured to synchronize changes made offline to the hybrid data, the synchronization between the single-maser system and the hybrid client when the hybrid client returns to an online state.

A computer-readable physical storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor enable cause the processor to perform acts of:

• performing online and offline manipulation of hybrid data in a hybrid client, the hybrid client interfaces to both a single-master system and a multi-master system;
• storing the hybrid data in the hybrid client, the hybrid data associated with single-master data common to both the single-master system and the multi-master system;
• and
• synchronizing changes made offline to the hybrid data, the synchronization between the single-maser system and the hybrid client when the hybrid client returns to an online state.
