Embodiment Construction

[0030] Rather than taking the source server system offline while performing the migration, the source server system can remain online such that the source server system responds to database requests while the migration function is being performed. While online, the origin server system may receive and respond to read requests for records stored in one or more databases maintained by the origin server system. The origin server system may also receive and respond to modification requests for records stored in one or more databases maintained by the origin server system. In order for the origin server system to fulfill database requests in a timely manner, the number of migration scripts executed in parallel by the origin server system may be smaller than the number of migration scripts that would be executed in parallel if the origin server system were offline. As a result, migration-related scripts take significantly longer to execute while the source server system is online; h...

Abstract

Various arrangements for performing an online migration between server systems is presented. A transfer, from a source server system to a target server system, of a database, may be initiated. During the transfer, the database of the source server system may remain online. A timing indication of when transfer of the database was initiated may be recorded. While transferring the database, modifications to the records of the database may be received. The plurality of modifications may be stored, and, for each modification of the plurality of modifications, a timing indication of when the modification was received may be stored. After completing the transfer of the database to the target server system, the plurality of modifications to the database stored by the target server system may be applied while the source server system is online.
