INTELLIGENT DATA PUBLISHING FRAMEWORK FOR COMMON DATA UPDATES IN LARGE SCALE NETWORKS OF HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTER SYSTEMS

摘要

A computerized data publishing method in which an action is received from a source. The action results in a data state change that must be propagated to multiple heterogeneous computer devices, in a manner that maintains the consistency of data among multiple heterogeneous computer devices. A record is saved in storage reflecting the data state change. The update process updates the impacted computer devices with the modified data using a publishing mechanism, and receives an indicator of whether the updating succeeded or failed. If the updating failed, a retry of the updating is initiated using the publishing mechanism. If all the updating of all of the impacted computer devices succeeded, the operation ends.
