<p>A system and method for creating and modifying shared data in a collaborative environment is disclosed. A system for creating and modifying shared data includes a release manager module, a staging system and an on-line system coupled together through a computer network. The system allows users to create and modify data in the staging system and specify when such changes should be made to the on-line system. The on-line system maintains the most current version of the shared data and allows users to view and retrieve information. The staging system maintains the shared data which has been created or modified and which will be used by the release manager module in performing the release process. The release manager module controls the updating of the on-line system from the staging system and can perform incremental updating to only portions of the on-line system or full updating where all modified portions of the system are made current. A method for creating and modifying shared data includes updating a record in the staging system, packaging the record into an update package, transferring the update package from the staging system to the on-line system; and updating the on-line system. The present invention also includes methods for maintaining data consistency during the step of updating a record in the staging system.</p> |
