Abstract
A method for online propagation of data updates, the method including initiating a record update process for any of a plurality of records in a system responsive to a modification of a trigger data item, where the process is performed while the system is online, creating an update process timestamp indicating a time at which the record update process is begun, and determining if a last-modified timestamp associated with any of the records indicates an eariler time than the update process timestamp, and, if so updating the record to reflect the modification to the trigger data item, and modifying the last-modified timestamp to reflect a time that is later than the update process timestamp.
