Abstract
Synchronization of databases is made to allows use of already-received changes in target datasets even if the synchronization session fails, and even before the failed synchronization session is re-performed or resumed to completion. Further, already-received changes received in a synchronization session are handled such that the need to re-send them in a subsequent synchronization session is minimized, even if the present synchronization should fail before completion. In synchronizing datasets to a reference dataset, after receipt of some number of changes from a dataset, changes are propagated into the reference dataset, to the extent that they can be reconciled with the reference dataset, without requiring that all changes from the dataset have already been received.
