Distributed software patch updating method and distributed software patch updating system

Abstract

The invention discloses a distributed software patch updating method and a distributed software patch updating system. The distributed software patch updating method includes that a patch management server transmits a first program patch file to a first target application server, remotely controls the first target application server to execute the first program patch file to update patches of a first program module and further transmits a data patch file to a database server, a database system of the distributed software is installed on the database server, and the database server updates patches of the database system according to the data patch file. Since the patch management server initiatively propels the program patch file and the data patch file of the distributed software to the target application server and the database server during patch updating of the distributed software, updating of the program module on the target application server and updating of the database system on the database server can be realized simultaneously, and upgrading and fixing of the distributed software can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer communication technology, in particular to a method and system for patch updating distributed software. Background technique [0002] Software is a collection of program codes written by humans in order to achieve certain functions. No matter how carefully considered, there are always deficiencies, negligence or errors (Bugs). In order to make up for the deficiencies of the original program, correct errors, enhance functions, or improve security and many other reasons, a small program that specifically solves a loophole or security problem in the software is usually released. This small program is called A patch for the software is also called a patch for the software, and most software will have a patch, which needs to be patched and updated, also known as patching, and the process of patching is the software upgrade process. [0003] At present, the automatic patch update technology mainly performs patch update for ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing technology cannot guarantee that after the program module A of the application server 1 is patched, the program module B in the application server 2 will be patched in time, and it is impossible to automatically modify the database system of the database server accordingly.

[0006] The inventors of the present invention have found that using the patch update method of the prior art is effective for patch update of client software installed on one processor, but for distributed software installed on multiple processors, since there is no one The program module on the multiprocessor and the unified patch update management system of the database system are prone to errors, and the patch update process is difficult to manage, so it cannot achieve the purpose of automatically updating and patching distributed software
