AUTOMATIC CONFLICT RESOLUTION

摘要

A method and apparatus is for implementing a conflict resolution policy. The method includes providing a rule set that includes a plurality of rules that define the conflict resolution policy. An algorithm is generated by decomposing each rule in the rule set into at least one pre-action that is to be performed on data in identified fields in first and second conflicting objects, at least one condition that is to be applied to the first and second conflicting objects, and at least one action that is to be performed on the identified fields in the first and second conflicting objects if the at least one condition is satisfied. The algorithm is loaded from a configuration file for execution during a synchronization component runtime using first and second conflicting objects provided by the synchronization component.

1. A computer-implemented method for implementing a conflict resolution policy, comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a rule set that includes a plurality of rules, wherein the rules define the conflict resolution policy; decomposing the individual rules of the plurality of rules into conditions that are to be applied to first and second objects, and actions that are to be performed on identified fields in the first and second objects if an associated condition is satisfied; storing the decomposed rules in an executable file for execution during a runtime of a synchronization component on the first and second objects; and employing, by the computing device, the decomposed rules by the synchronization component to resolve the conflict between the first and second objects.
