ProxyUpdateType

Basics

There are three different interface scenarios that can be configured for every single Proxy Prop-erty

• Master
• Client
• Bi-directional

This Interface direction as well as the conflict solving mechanism must be configureable on the Relation between MetaProxy and ProxyMetaProperty.

Master

As the Proxy Property is defined as a Master, the value is always exported from UBIK. The value will never be imported. Changes from the external system will always be discarded.

Client

As the Proxy Property is defined as a Client, the value is always be updated during an import from the 3rd party system. The value will never be exported. Changes in UBIK will always be dis-carded.

Bi-Directional

As the Proxy Property is defined as export/import “Bi-Directional” the Proxy supports both, exporting and importing the Property value. During the processing conflicts must be recog-nized. A conflict is as the property was changed in UBIK AND in the external system. There are two different Conflict scenarios:

• Solve the conflict according the Timestamp information: the newest change wins agains the older one.
• Manual solve: mark the object and let the user solve the “problem”
