Method of integrating remote databases by automated client scoping of update requests prior to download via a communications network
United States Patent 9,754,001 provides a system method of patent 8,122,040.
A system and method enable the selection of a time range of database records for download from a source database source and for transfer to a recipient database. A specifically bounded time period is selected to limit the number of data records selected for download in a particular action to those records that are individually associated with date time stamp values falling within the specified time period. This limitation of records selected for inclusion in a download process to data records having associations with date time stamps falling within a limited time range reduces a likelihood of overload in transferring data and thereby reduces the incidence of time-outs in the communication of a source database, any intermediary server or software action, and the recipient database in an updating of the recipient database to reflect a current state of the source database. A plurality of threads may be employed to contemporaneously download records associated with date time stamps having values within a requested time range whereby data records may be downloaded in parallel.
United States Patent 9,754,001 describes a method for integrating remote databases by automated client scoping of update requests prior to download via a communications network. The invention improves synchronization efficiency by limiting update requests to only the records needed, reducing unnecessary data transfer and improving reliability. This is especially important when integrating remote databases across networks where latency, bandwidth, or system limits can cause failures. By scoping update requests intelligently, the patented method helps reduce timeouts and improves consistency during recurring replication cycles. Organizations benefit from faster synchronization, improved stability, and more scalable integration of distributed database environments.
This patent matters because recurring update downloads can become inefficient and unstable without intelligent scoping. By automating client scoping of update requests, the invention reduces network overhead, improves synchronization reliability, and supports scalable integration of remote databases across distributed enterprise environments.
