20120079454 | EXPRESSING EQUIVALENCY RELATIONSHIPS WITH IDENTITY GRAPHS - A synchronization system is described herein that synchronizes two environments by correctly matching identity objects in a source environment with related objects in a target environment. In addition to matching identities based on primitive attributes, the system matches identities across multiple heterogeneous environments based on their relative positions in an identity graph. The system builds the identity graph by first matching some identity objects based on primitive attribute value comparisons. The system fills in the remainder of the identity graph by comparing references to/from the matched identity objects. The combination of attribute value comparisons and comparing references enables identity-aware applications to complete a single identity graph, determine the equivalency of identities in this graph, and apply policy based on this new relationship. | 03-29-2012 |
20120079502 | DEPENDENCY-ORDERED RESOURCE SYNCHRONIZATION - A synchronization system is described herein that synchronizes resource objects in an order based on their dependency relationships so that a referenced object is available by the time an object that references it is synchronized. Reference attributes present in resources define the dependency relationship among resources. Using these relationships, the system builds a dependency tree and orders synchronization operations for environment reconciliation by precedence so that referential integrity is preserved while still synchronizing reference attributes. The system can deterministically create a change list that guarantees referential integrity, and perform change list processing in parallel. The synchronization system attempts to order the synchronization based on references available to ensure that the system creates and updates dependent resources before their parent resources. Thus, the synchronization system provides a fast, reliable update mechanism for synchronizing two related data environments. | 03-29-2012 |
