Patent number: 9495407Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for synchronization client coordination with a change log service (CLS). In an embodiment of the invention, a change tracking thread on a synchronization client provided as part of a pervasive device is initiated. A synchronization message is sent to the CLS upon detecting a change to data. Synchronization is performed and upon completing synchronization, a synchronization stop message is sent to the CLS. Upon sending the synchronization stop message to the CLS, the change tracking thread on the synchronization client is stopped.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joseph Celi, Jr., Ashok C. Mammen

Patent number: 9037605Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for embedded change logging for data synchronization. In an embodiment of the invention, an embedded change logging data processing system can include a change embedded database (EDB) disposed in a pervasive device. The EDB can store entries for notified changes in data for multiple different end-user applications in the pervasive device. The system also can include a change log service (CLS) disposed in the pervasive device and coupled to the EDB. The CLS can include program code enabled to register with multiple different end-user applications in the pervasive device to receive notifications of changes, and to write entries to the EDB responsive to the notifications. Finally, the system can include a synchronization client disposed in the pervasive device separately from the CLS. The synchronization client can include program code enabled to directly access the EDB to perform data synchronization with a remote host.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joseph Celi, Jr., Ashok C.

Patent number: 7623551Abstract: When a current synchronization between a first device and a second device is commenced, a last anchor for the current synchronization to an initialization time of a previous synchronization between the first device and the second device, and a next anchor for the current synchronization is set to an initialization time of the current synchronization. Then, a set of data elements to be synchronized during the current synchronization is determined. Typically, the set includes only those data elements that have been modified after the last anchor and up to (e.g., before or equal to) the next anchor. When the set of modified data elements is received on the second device from the first device, a device modified timestamp (DMT) for the set of data elements on the second device is set to the next anchor instead of to the current time at which the data elements are received.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2004Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stephen T.

Publication number: 20090106454Abstract: A method comprises maintaining a data store of meta-data for a plurality of other data stores. The meta-data data store includes a plurality of meta-data data elements. Each of the meta-data data elements corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of data stores on a first network element. Meta-data of the meta-data data store of the first network element is sent to a second network element. To synchronize the meta-data of one of the plurality of data stores, the meta-data data element of the meta-data data store that corresponds to that one of the plurality of data stores is synchronized between the first network element and the second network element. The synchronizing of the meta-data data element is independent of synchronizing of at least one of the plurality of data stores.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2007Publication date: April 23, 2009Inventors: DAVID A.
