=head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
Data::Transfer::Sync is a module providing a generic synchronization process |
| 17 |
|
|
across arbitrary/multiple storages based on a ident/checksum mechanism. |
| 18 |
|
|
It sits on top of Data::Storage. |

|
|
When in "import" mode for windows file - DBD::AutoCSV may hang. |
| 48 |
|
|
Hint: Maybe the source node contains an ident-, but no checksum-column? |

You have to create a sub for each node used in synchronization inside named Perl module. The name of this sub _must_ match |
| 59 |
|
|
the name of the node you want to sync. This sub holds mapping metadata to give the engine hints about how |
| 60 |
|
|
to access the otherwise generic nodes. |

DBD::AutoCSV contains a rulebase which is spooled down while attempting to guess the style of the csv file regarding |
| 78 |
|
|
parameters like newline (eol), column-seperation-character (sep_char), quoting character (quote_char). |
| 79 |
|
|
If this spool runs out of entries and no style could be resolved, DBD::CSV dies causing this "Execution ERROR" which |
| 80 |
|
|
results in a "DBI-Error" afterwards. |

|
|
The Engine found a node which structure does not match the required. It tries to alter this automatically - only when doing "import" - |
| 108 |
|
|
but the DBD driver (in this case DBD::CSV) gets in the way croaking not to be able to do this. |
| 109 |
|
|
This could also appear if your database connection has insufficient rights to modify the database structure. |
| 110 |
|
|
DBD::CSV croaks because it doesn't implement the ALTER command, so please edit your columns manually. |
| 111 |
|
|
Hint: Add columns with the names of your "ident" and "checksum" property specifications. |

=head1 TODO |
| 127 |
|
|
|
| 128 |
|
|
- sub _resolveIdentProvider |
| 129 |
|
|
- wrap _doModifySource and _doTransferTarget around a core function which can change virtually any type of node |
| 130 |
|
|
- split this module up into Sync.pm, Sync/Core.pm, Sync/Compare.pm and Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm |
| 131 |
|
|
- introduce _compareNodes as a core method and wrap it around methods in Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm |
| 132 |
|
|
- introduce Sync/Compare/MyComparisonImplementation.pm |
| 133 |
|
|
- some generic deferring method - e.g. "$self->defer(action)" - to be able to accumulate a bunch of actions for later processing |
| 134 |
|
|
- this implies everything done is _really_ split up into generic actions - how else would we defer them??? |
| 135 |
|
|
- example uses: |
| 136 |
|
|
- fetch whole checksum list from node |
| 137 |
|
|
- remember source ident retransmits |
| 138 |
|
|
- remember: this is convenient - and maybe / of course faster - but we'll loose "per-node-atomic" operations |
| 139 |
|
|
- feature: mechanism to implicit inject checksum property to nodes (alter table / modify schema) |
| 140 |
|
|
- expand statistics / keep track of: |
| 141 |
|
|
- touched/untouched nodes |
| 142 |
|
|
- full sync |
| 143 |
|
|
- just do a push and a pull for now but use stats for touched nodes in between to speed up things |
| 144 |
|
|
- introduce some new metadata flags for a synchronization partner which is (e.g.) of "source" or "target": |
| 145 |
|
|
- isNewNodePropagator |
| 146 |
|
|
- isWriteProtected |
| 147 |
