Multi-Tenant Identifier Mapping for Conflict Resolution

The patent introduces a mapping table as an intermediary component that stores the correspondence between source system identifiers and multi-tenant environment identifiers. When data is accessed or transferred, the mapping table mediates the identifier translation, ensuring that identifiers from different single-tenant systems do not conflict in the multi-tenant environment while maintaining the original identifiers' meaning and functionality.

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing the mapping between source system identifiers and multi-tenant identifiers in a mapping table before actual data access or transfer occurs. This preliminary setup includes storing the source system identifier, identity provider, and corresponding multi-tenant identifier relationships in advance, so that during runtime, the system only needs to perform simple lookups rather than complex identifier generation and conflict resolution.

The patent creates a copy of the identifier mapping relationship in a dedicated mapping table that can be quickly queried. Instead of performing complex real-time identifier generation and conflict checking, the system copies the pre-determined mapping relationships into the mapping table, allowing for fast lookup operations. The mapping table stores ready-made identifier pairs that can be retrieved through simple key-based searches.
