Abstract
A method for resolving the synchronization of identity data from a central database server to distributed database servers is provided. The method involves synchronizing identity data to central and distributed database servers based on identity data types associated with a factory. The method first includes assigning by a configuration manager identity data types to factories which manufacture devices that will need identity data. Next an Identity Data (ID) Loader receives a file containing the identity data, and the ID Loader loads the identity data to a central database server and creates a file history record indicating a record of the file loaded. Next, a Factory Synchronizer Loader (FSL) is triggered to create and execute jobs to load identity data, configuration data or other data. Finally, the identity data is synchronized between the central data base with the remote database servers in a location of the factory. In some embodiments, the FSL corrects identity data and resynchronizes, or determines when synchronization fails and repeats synchronization processes when the failure occurs.
