1Reliability

If ETL tools are developed separately for each data center, then data synchronization can be achieved between isolated data centers, but development time is wasted and development efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata synchronization capabilityVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal ETL tool platform that can serve multiple data centers through a single development. The system uses a unified configuration management mechanism that allows the same ETL tool to be deployed across different data centers by simply configuring different data source and target parameters, eliminating the need to develop separate tools for each data center while maintaining full data synchronization capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter-based configuration to adapt a single ETL tool for different data centers. By changing configuration parameters such as data source connections, target destinations, and synchronization rules, the same tool can be rapidly deployed to different environments without code modification, significantly reducing development time while maintaining synchronization reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If ETL tools are developed separately for each data center, then data synchronization can be achieved, but development efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata synchronization capabilityVSAvoiddevelopment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal ETL tool that can be deployed across multiple data centers through configuration rather than separate development. The system maintains a centralized repository of ETL templates and configurations that can be reused across different data centers, allowing the development team to build the tool once and deploy it universally, thereby maintaining full synchronization capability while dramatically improving development efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a framework with pre-configured ETL templates, data source connectors, and synchronization rules that can be rapidly instantiated for different data centers. By preparing the underlying infrastructure and configuration structures in advance, the system enables quick deployment of data synchronization capabilities across multiple data centers without repeating the full development process each time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for data synchronization, and a computer-readable storage medium. In the method, multiple data sources are connected in response to the operation of configuring data sources in the first interactive interface. Then, in response to the operation of creating a task in the second interactive interface, a task configuration file can be generated. Afterwards, in response to the operation of starting the data synchronization task in the third interactive interface, the to-be-synchronized data is synchronized from the source data source to the target data source. In this way, in the embodiments, data transmission between different data sources can be achieved through visual configuration operations, without the need for repeated development, and the configuration process is simple, which can reduce learning costs.
