Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system for synchronizing object instances between first and second object stores. The system includes a primary computer and a portable computer that is connectable with the primary computer for data communications. A first object store manager executes on the portable computer to maintain the first object store, and a second object store manager executes on the primary computer to maintain the second object store. In addition, a synchronization manager executes on the primary computer. The synchronization manager compares object instances from the first and second object stores in response to initially connecting the portable computer for data communications with the primary computer, and synchronizes any objects whose instances differ from each other. After the initial synchronization, the first object store manager initiates a notification to the synchronization manager whenever an instance of a particular object in the first object store changes. In response, the synchronization manager synchronizes the instances of the identified object in the first and second object stores.
