Abstract

A system and method is described for use in the propagation of cross-platform updates of databases in, for example, an Enterprise system. Given that these platforms may be operating using different operating systems and database software, the system and method are not application dependent. The system and method effect the cross-platform propagation of updates through the use of I/O streams. Accordingly, the system and method do not use valuable and expensive CPU cycles nor excessively load the TCP/IP communication lines to perform the desired cross-platform propagation of updates for platform databases.
