Abstract
A system and method for synchronizing data in first and second computer servers is provided. The first computer server includes a first plurality of data sets each having a first identifier and a first set of attributes. The second computer server includes second plurality of data sets each having a second identifier and a second set of attributes. The method includes transmitting a second identifier and a second checksum value both associated with one of the second plurality of data sets to the first computer server. The method further includes accessing one of the first plurality of data sets having a first identifier corresponding to the transmitted second identifier to determine a first checksum value associated with the accessed data set. Finally, the method includes transmitting the one of the first plurality of data sets from the first computer server to the second computer server to replace a second set of attributes of the one of the second plurality of data sets with the first set of attributes of the one of the first plurality of data sets.
