Several embodiments of the present invention employ synchronization adapters for synchronizing information between "WinFS" and non-"WinFS" data sources (Figure 36, 3622/3666). Examples of adapters include an adapter that synchronizes address book information between a "WinFS" contacts folder and a non-WinFS mailbox (Figure 36, 3642). In these instances, adapter developers might use the "WinFS" synchronization core services API described herein for accessing services provided by the "WinFS" (Figure 36, 3612) synchronization platform in order to develop schema transformation code between the "WinFS" (Figure 36, 3612) schema and the non-"WinFS" data source schema (Figure 36, 3624). Additionally, the adapter developer provides protocol support for communicating changes with the non-"WinFS" data source. A synchronization adapter (Figure 36, 3662) is invoked and controlled by using the synchronization controller API and reports progress and errors using this API (Figure 36, 3652).
L'invention concerne plusieurs modes de réalisation qui consistent à utiliser des adaptateurs de synchronisation afin de synchroniser des informations entre des sources de données <= WinFS >= et non-<= WinFS >= (Figure 36, 3622/3666). Des exemples d'adaptateurs comprennent un adaptateur qui synchronise des informations de carnet d'adresses entre un fichier de contacts <= WinFS >= et une boîteaux lettres non-<= WinFS >= (Figure 36, 3642). Dans ces cas, les concepteurs des adaptateurs peuvent utiliser les services de base de synchronisation <= WinFS >= API décrit dans cette invention pouraccéder à des services fournis par la plate-forme de synchronisation <= WinFS >= (Figure 36, 3612) de manière à élaborer un code detransformation de schéma entre le schéma <= WinFS >= (Figure 36, 3612) et le schéma de source de données non-<= WinFS >= (Figure 36, 3624). De plus, le concepteur des adaptateur fournit un support de protocole pour transmettre les modifications avec la source de données non-<= WinFS >=. Un adaptateur de synchronisation (Figure 36, 3662) est sollicité et commandé au moyen de l'API du dispositif de commande de synchronisation et il établit un rapport concernant la progression et les erreurs au moyen de cette API (Figure 36, 3652).
