Patent ID: 8028915

Claim:
A configuration migration arrangement, comprising: a current data capture system having a set of configuration parameters operative for enabling the current data capture system to capture transaction data; at least one additional data capture system to be configured with the set of configuration parameters; and a configuration host operatively connected to all the data capture systems, for pulling the set of configuration parameters from the current data capture system, and for pushing a pulled set of configuration parameters to the at least one additional data capture system to enable the at least one additional data capture system to capture the transaction data; and wherein the current data capture system and the at least one additional data capture system have different protocols operative for mapping respective sets of configuration parameters, wherein the configuration host is operative for accessing a translation table in which a plurality of mapped sets of configuration parameters for different data capture systems are stored, and wherein the configuration host automatically accesses the stored set of configuration parameters from the translation table, and automatically pushes an accessed stored set of configuration parameters to the at least one additional data capture system.
