Method, system, and program product for transferring document attributes

摘要

The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for transferring document attributes. Specifically, under the present invention, a change to an attribute corresponding to a document archived in a content storage system is received on an indexing system. In response to the change, an archival date corresponding to storage of the document in the content storage system is set to a current date. Also, a start date and an end date in an index transfer tool is set to the current date. Thereafter, the changed attribute is transferred to the content storage system based on a matching of the newly changed archival date with the set start and end dates.

1. A method executed on a computer device for transferring document attributes, comprising:
receiving, on an indexing system, a change to at least one attribute of a document stored in a content storage system, the document having a plurality of attributes, each attribute of the plurality of attributes describing a feature of the document, the document having a first date that is initially set to a date that the document was originally stored in the content storage system; resetting the first date of the document to a second date only in response to receiving the change to the at least on attribute; saving the date that the document was originally stored for future reference; setting a start date and an end date of the index transfer tool to the second date in response to receiving the change to the at least one attribute, wherein the index transfer tool integrates the indexing system with the content storage system; identifying the at least one attribute of the document that has been changed by using a matching of the first date, the start date, and the end date; and transferring only the identified changed attributes from the indexing system to the content storage system based on the matching of the changed first date with the start date and the end date of the index transfer tool.
