  • Methods of synchronizing hierarchical databases and related computing systems
    Patent number: 12783549
    Abstract: Methods of synchronizing destination hierarchical databases to source hierarchical databases and related computing systems are disclosed. A method includes detecting a change to source hierarchical data stored by the source hierarchical databases, which are organized into two or more hierarchical levels including a highest level and one or more sub-levels. The method also includes generating messages, each including an object corresponding to a segment of the changed source hierarchical data. The object includes an entity identification and a change data operation. The object further includes a parent identification if the changed source hierarchical data of the object is from the one or more sub-levels. The method also includes changing the destination hierarchical data responsive to the messages.
