Abstract

A system is disclosed that allows users of computing devices to control the copying of business information between computing systems and various computing environments. The system includes a method for accessing at least one data element from a source database of a source system. The at least one data element may represent a delta change in data existing in a first collection of data stored in the source database. The method includes copying the at least one data element to an export data file and transporting the export data file to a target system. Once transported, the method further includes displaying a user interface on the target system that identifies ones of the at least one data elements that exist in a second collection of data stored in the target database, prompting user selection of desired ones of the at least one data element to be copied in the target database, and copying selected one of the at least one data element to the target database in response to the prompt.
