  • Method and system for transferring data between server systems
    Patent number: 6782400
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for transferring data between server systems. Specifically, the present invention provides a method and system for locating and importing data stored on a source server system in a first file format to a staging server system. Once imported to the staging server system, the data is processed (e.g., parsed, edited, and translated). After processing, the data is formatted into a second file format and then exported to a destination server system. Thus, the present invention allows data stored on a source server system in a first file format to be transferred to a destination server system in a second file format.
