PCT No. PCT/US96/11901 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 3, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 3, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 18, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/04389 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 6, 1997A method and apparatus are disclosed for synchronizing transactions in a disconnectable network. Each transaction includes operations that were performed on a database replica on one computer while that computer was disconnected from another computer and hence from that other computer's replica. Transaction synchronization, which occurs after the computers are reconnected, transfers information from each computer to the other computer and applies updates to both replicas as appropriate. Transaction logs and clash handling tools may be used with the invention. |
