ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and program for synchronizing data. A client data record is received from a client and a determination is made of a server data record corresponding to the client data record and a stored digest generated from a previously received version of the received client data record. A current digest is computed from the received client data record. A determination is then made as to whether the computed current digest matches the stored digest. The server data record is updated with modified data from the received client data record if the computed digest and stored digest do not match.
