Patent ID: 7433903

Claim:
A method for minimizing network connection means traffic produced by a primary database system means at a primary host server in communicating via said network connection means with a secondary database system means, having a Tracker Task Program, at a secondary host server for the purpose of replicating, at said secondary database system means, the audited changes produced by said primary database system means, said method comprising: (a) utilizing a mirrored disk connection system between said primary host server and said secondary host server; (b) sensing the selected use of a mirrored audit transfer mode means by said primary database system means and said secondary host database system means; (c) utilizing said mirrored disk system by said primary database system means to provide availability of said audited changes, generated by said primary database system means, to said secondary host database system means, thus eliminating the need for said primary database system means to write said audited changes across said network connection means; (d) receiving, by said secondary host database system, of audited changes generated by said primary host database means; (e) reading continuously via said Tracker Task program the next of said audited changes until an end-of-file condition is sensed during a reading attempt; (f) providing availability, by said secondary host database system means, via said mirrored disk connection system, of said audited changes generated by said Primary database system means, thus eliminating the necessity for said secondary database system means to acknowledge receipt of said audited changes by transmitting an acknowledgment-message across said network connection means.
