Abstract
A method for hybrid Discovery Library Adapter (DLA) book processing identifies a first logical group in a first DLA book, the first DLA book including a first set of objects constructed according to a Common Data Model (CDM) specification to represent a first set of corresponding instances of resources at a first time, the first logical group being a grouping of related subset of the first set of objects. A first value corresponding to the first logical group, and usable for ascertaining a difference between the first logical group and a second logical group in a second DLA book, is computed. A second value corresponding to the second logical group is computed and matched with the first value. If matched, a change in the first logical group as compared to the second logical group is identified and output to a DLA delta book.
