  • Patent number: 7933866
    Abstract: In contrast to prior data synchronization processes, provided by aspects of the invention are systems, methods and software programs implementing a data synchronization process that employs a high-level interface of a respective data repository to extract valid information from the data repository in response to low-level changes in the data repository. In specific embodiments of the invention, the synchronization process is implemented within an adaptor interposed between a management system and a database system that serves as a middle-ware operable to link a respective data store interface, within a management system, to a respective managed platform, within the database system, so that the native API's of each can be employed in the operation of the data synchronization process.

  • Patent number: 7865466
    Abstract: A system for synchronizing account names from a plurality of source security systems. In response to coupling a conversion system between the plurality of source security systems and a target security system, identity data from a human resource system and account data from the plurality of local source security systems is loaded into the conversion system. A name resolution rule set is retrieved and a unique account name identification is generated for a set of account names associated with an identity using the name resolution rule set. The set of account names associated with the identity is converted to the unique account name identification to produce a synchronized set of account names associated with the identity. Then, the synchronized set of account names associated with the identity is stored in the target security system.
