Abstract
A method and associated system for efficiently firing mapping and transform rules during a bidirectional synchronization of two or more systems. A processor loads a set of mapping and transform synchronization rules and a set of cross-reference tables. When an event message received from a source system identifies a revision to an element of the source system's data, the processor parses the message to identify the revised source-system data. The processor uses the cross-references to identify synchronization rules that are associated with the revised data element. If any of the identified rules requires an additional source-system data element or an extrinsic data element located at an external source, the processor retrieves those further identified data elements. The processor then looks up the synchronization procedure of the identified rules, packages it into a synchronization message, and sends the message to the target system.
