[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0030] As business grows and changes, applications need to be frequently updated to introduce new features, fix known issues, or optimize performance. Application update refers to the process of patching and improving applications. Application updates can fix vulnerabilities in applications and improve application performance and stability.

[0031] The traditional application update method is to shut down the application after receiving the update request instruction, then redeploy all the business functions required for the application update on the application and restart the application. The traditional application update method often requires the application to be shut down, which will have a negative impact on business continuity and user experience. Therefore, there is a strong demand for no-downtime update technology to ensure that the business can continue to run during the update process.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, a business update function of an application and an identifier associated with the business update function are obtained, and based on the identifier, a to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function is obtained, and the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function. After all to-be-updated business functions corresponding to all business update functions are replaced, the update of the application is completed, instead of redeploying all business functions required when updating the application on the application. Therefore, the system overhead can be reduced. In addition, by obtaining the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the first value, so that the to-be-updated business function is in an uncallable state. After the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the second value, so that the business update function is in a callable state. There is no need to restart the application. Instead, the update state of the business update function is represented by the first field corresponding to the business update function. When the value of the first field is the second value, the business update function can be called. Therefore, the delay of calling the business update function can be reduced, and the continuity of the business is improved.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for updating an application program provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , the method may include the following steps:

[0034] Step 101: In response to an update request instruction for an application, obtain a business update function of the application included in the update request instruction and an identifier associated with the business update function; the identifier is used to indicate a business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0035] For example, update request instructions are used to obtain the latest data, information, or status. Whether in software applications, online services, or database management systems, they all play an important role in ensuring that users can obtain accurate and real-time information. For example, in a software application, when the developer releases a new version, the user may receive a prompt asking whether to update the application. When the user clicks the "Update" button, a signal is sent that an update has been requested, and the system will begin downloading and installing the latest version of the application.

[0036] For example, the update request instruction may be automatically triggered by a user, a system or an application program to ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of the service update function. In response to the update request instruction to the application program, the latest service update function and an identifier associated with the service update function may be obtained.

[0037] For example, the business update function can also be called a new function, and the business update function can be a method code block, which processes the parameters in the method code block by passing in parameters, and then outputs the processing results. For example, the business function can be a blackcall function.

[0038] For example, the identifier can be information anchored to the business function to be updated, used to indicate the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function. Specifically, the identifier can also be used to locate the memory area of ​​the business function to be updated, so that the business function to be updated is replaced with the business update function in the memory area of ​​the business function to be updated.

[0039] Step 102: Obtain a value of a first field corresponding to the service update function, and modify the value of the first field to a first value; the first value is used to indicate that the service function to be updated is in an uncallable state.

[0040] For example, the value of the first field corresponds to the service update function one by one, and each service update function has a value of the first field.

[0041] For example, the first field may be a sign field, and the first value may be 1, indicating that the business function to be updated is in an uncallable state. That is, when the business function to be updated is updated, the business function to be updated will be locked, and external programs cannot obtain the business function to be updated.

[0042] For example, the present application obtains the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function and modifies the value of the first field to the first value, thereby avoiding external programs from calling the business function to be updated when the business function to be updated is updated, ensuring the safe release of the business function to be updated and the correct loading of the business update function.

[0043] Step 103: Obtain a to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function according to the identifier, and replace the to-be-updated service function with the service update function.

[0044] For example, the identifier may be information anchored to the business function to be updated. Based on the identifier, the business function to be updated may be queried, so that the business function to be updated may be replaced with the business update function in the memory area where the business function to be updated is located. For example, the identifier may be name=blackCall, the identifier may be index=16, and the identifier may also be name=blackCall, index=16.

[0045] For example, according to the identifier, the business function to be updated related to the identifier can be anchored. For example, if the identifier is name=blackCall, the business function to be updated named blackcall can be obtained according to the identifier name=blackCall, so that the business function to be updated named blackcall can be replaced with the business update function. For another example, if the identifier is index=16, the business function to be updated with coordinate 16 can be obtained according to the identifier index=16, so that the business function to be updated with coordinate 16 can be replaced with the business update function.

[0046] Step 104: modify the value of the first field to a second value; the second value is used to indicate that the service update function is in a callable state; the second value is a value different from the first value.

[0047] For example, the second value can be 0, indicating that the business update function is in a callable state, that is, the business function to be updated has been replaced by the business update function, the update is completed, the business function to be updated will be unlocked, and the external program can call the business update function and execute the business update function.

[0048] For example, the first value may be 0, and the second value may be 1, as long as the first value and the second value are different.

[0049] For example, in the process of replacing a business function to be updated with a business update function, the present application can ensure the safe release of the business function to be updated and the correct loading of the business update function by modifying the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function.

[0050] For example, after replacing the business function to be updated with the business update function, the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function is changed to the second value, i.e., 0, so that the business update function is in a callable state. An external program can call the business update function and execute the business update function without restarting the application program and calling the business update function again after restarting. Therefore, the latency of calling the business update function can be reduced and the continuity of the business can be improved.

[0051] Step 105: After all the service functions to be updated corresponding to the service update functions are replaced, the application is updated.

[0052] For example, after all the business functions to be updated are replaced with the corresponding business update functions, the application update is completed.

[0053] For example, assuming that the number of business update functions is 3, after replacing the business function 1 to be updated corresponding to business update function 1 with business update function 1, replacing the business function 2 to be updated corresponding to business update function 2 with business update function 2, and replacing the business function 3 to be updated corresponding to business update function 3 with business update function 3, the update of the application is completed.

[0054] In summary, in an embodiment of the present application, a business update function of an application and an identifier associated with the business update function are obtained, and based on the identifier, a to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function is obtained, and the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function. After all to-be-updated business functions corresponding to all business update functions are replaced, the update of the application is completed, instead of redeploying all business functions required when the application is updated on the application. Therefore, the system overhead can be reduced. In addition, by obtaining the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the first value, so that the to-be-updated business function is in an uncallable state. After the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the second value, so that the business update function is in a callable state. There is no need to restart the application, but the update status of the business update function is represented by the first field corresponding to the business update function. When the value of the first field is the second value, the business update function can be called. Therefore, the delay of calling the business update function can be reduced, and the continuity of the business is improved.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for updating an application provided by this application. Figure 2 The method may include the following steps:

[0056] Step 201: In response to an update request instruction for an application, obtain a business update function of the application included in the update request instruction and an identifier associated with the business update function; the identifier is used to indicate a business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0057] This step may refer to the above step 101 and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Optionally, step 201 may specifically include:

[0059] Sub-step 2011: If there are multiple business update functions, determine the update order of each business update function according to the timestamp when each business update function arrives at the application.

[0060] Sub-step 2012: Acquire the service update function and an identifier associated with the service update function according to the update order of each service update function.

[0061] For sub-steps 2011-2012, taking the number of business update functions as 3 as an example, if the time when business update function 1 reaches the application is earlier than that of business update function 3, and the time when business update function 3 reaches the application is earlier than that of business update function 2, then first, business update function 1 is updated, then business update function 3 is updated, and finally, business update function 2 is updated. And in accordance with the update order of business update function 1, business update function 3, and business update function 2, business update function 1 and an identifier associated with business update function 1 are first obtained, and then business update function 3 and an identifier associated with business update function 3, business update function 2 and an identifier associated with business update function 2 are obtained.

[0062] Step 202: Obtain a value of a first field corresponding to the service update function, and modify the value of the first field to a first value; the first value is used to indicate that the service function to be updated is in an uncallable state.

[0063] This step may refer to the above step 102 and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] Step 203: According to the identifier, obtain the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function, and obtain the memory area of ​​the to-be-updated business function in the function pool; the to-be-updated business function is stored in the function pool.

[0065] For example, the business functions to be updated are stored in the function pool, which can be understood as putting the business functions to be updated into a function set, storing the business functions to be updated in the set, maintaining the business functions to be updated in the set, and after replacing the business functions to be updated with the business update functions, the external calling program can take out the business update functions from the set and execute the business update functions.

[0066] For example, the function pool may store function names and business functions to be updated. The business function to be updated that has the same function name as the business update function is obtained through the function name of the business update function, and the business function to be updated that has the same function name as the business update function is used as the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0067] For example, the function pool may also store function coordinates and business functions to be updated. The function coordinates refer to putting the business function to be updated into the function set, recording the sequence coordinates of the business function to be updated in the function set, obtaining the business function to be updated with the same function coordinates as the business update function through the function coordinates, and taking the business function to be updated with the same function coordinates as the business update function as the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0068] For example, the memory area of ​​the business function to be updated in the function pool is obtained according to the identifier, that is, according to the identifier, the business function to be updated related to the identifier can be anchored, so that the position of the business function to be updated in the function pool can be obtained.

[0069] Optionally, the identifier is a function name; step 203 may specifically include:

[0070] Sub-step 2031: According to the first correspondence between the function name in the function pool and the business function to be updated, obtain the business function to be updated that matches the function name of the business update function, and use the business function to be updated that matches the function name of the business update function as the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0071] For example, the function pool stores function names and business functions to be updated. After obtaining the business update function, the business function to be updated in the function pool that matches the function name of the business update function is obtained, that is, the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0072] For example, the function name is blackcall, that is, the identifier is name=blackcall, and the to-be-updated business function with the function name of blackcall in the function pool is used as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0073] Optionally, the identifier is a function coordinate; step 203 may further include:

[0074] Sub-step 2032: According to the second correspondence between the function coordinates in the function pool and the business function to be updated, obtain the business function to be updated that matches the function coordinates of the business update function, and use the business function to be updated that matches the function coordinates of the business update function as the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0075] For example, the function pool stores function coordinates and business functions to be updated. After obtaining the business update function, the business function to be updated in the function pool that matches the function coordinates of the business update function is obtained, that is, the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0076] For example, the function coordinate is 16, that is, the identifier is index=16, and the to-be-updated business function with the function coordinate of 16 in the function pool is used as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0077] For example, the function pool stores function names, function coordinates, and business functions to be updated. After obtaining the business update function, the business function to be updated in the function pool that matches the function name and function coordinates of the business update function is obtained, which is the business function to be updated corresponding to the business update function.

[0078] For example, the function name is blackcall, and the function coordinate is 16, that is, the identifier is name=blackcall, index=16, and the to-be-updated business function with the function name of blackcall and the function coordinate of 16 in the function pool is used as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0079] Step 204: Delete the service function to be updated, and write the service update function into the memory area where the service function to be updated is located.

[0080] For example, the present application deletes the business function to be updated and writes the business update function into the memory area where the business function to be updated is deleted, thereby replacing the business function to be updated with the business update function. This achieves seamless replacement of the business function to be updated with the business update function, ensuring efficient operation and stability of the application.

[0081] Optionally, before step 204, the method further includes:

[0082] Step A1, obtain the value of the second field; the second field is used to indicate the current write permission of the function pool.

[0083] Step A2: If the value of the second field is the third value, the value of the second field is modified to a fourth value; the third value is used to represent that the business update function can be written into the function pool; the fourth value is used to represent that the business update functions included in the update request instruction, except for the business update function, cannot be written into the function pool; the fourth value is a value different from the third value.

[0084] After step 204, the method further includes:

[0085] Step A3: modify the value of the second field to the third value.

[0086] For steps A1 to A3, the third value may be 0, indicating that the business update function can be written into the function pool, i.e., the business update function has write permission. The fourth value may be 1, indicating that the business update functions included in the update request instruction except the business update function cannot be written into the function pool, i.e., other business update functions do not have write permission.

[0087] Get the value of the second field. If the value of the second field is 0, it means that the business update function can be written into the function pool. Change the value of the second field to 1, delete the business function to be updated, and write the business update function into the memory area where the business function to be updated is located. Then, change the value of the second field to 0, so that the business functions to be updated corresponding to other business update functions can be updated. This application obtains the value of the second field and determines whether there is write permission according to the value of the second field. The implementation method is relatively simple.

[0088] Of course, the third value may be 1, indicating that the business update function can be written into the function pool, that is, the business update function has write permission. The fourth value may be 0, indicating that the business update functions included in the update request instruction except the business update function cannot be written into the function pool, that is, other business update functions do not have write permission. The third value and the fourth value may be different.

[0089] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0090] Step A4: If the value of the second field is the fourth value, add the business update function to the waiting queue and reacquire the value of the second field until the value of the second field is the third value, and then enter the step of modifying the value of the second field to the fourth value.

[0091] For example, taking the third value being 0 and the fourth value being 1 as an example, if the value of the second field is 1, it means that the business update function currently does not have write permission. The business update function is added to the waiting queue, and the value of the second field is obtained again until the value of the second field is 0, indicating that the business update function currently has write permission and can write to the function pool. The value of the second field is modified to 1, and the business function to be updated is deleted. The business update function is written to the memory area where the business function to be updated is located. After that, the value of the second field is modified to 0 so that the business functions to be updated corresponding to other business update functions can be updated.

[0092] Step 205: modify the value of the first field to a second value; the second value is used to indicate that the service update function is in a callable state; the second value is different from the first value.

[0093] For example, after deleting the business function to be updated and writing the business update function in the memory area where the business function to be updated is located, the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function is modified to the second value, that is, 0, so that the business update function is in a callable state, and the external program can call the business update function and execute the business update function. There is no need to restart the application program, and then call the business update function after restarting. Therefore, the latency of calling the business update function can be reduced and the continuity of the business can be improved.

[0094] Step 206: After all the service functions to be updated corresponding to the service update functions are replaced, the application is updated.

[0095] For example, taking the number of business update functions as 3 and the update order as update business update function 1, update business update function 3, and update business update function 2 as an example, after replacing the business function 1 to be updated corresponding to business update function 1 with business update function 1, replace the business function 3 to be updated corresponding to business update function 3 with business update function 3, and finally, replace the business function 2 to be updated corresponding to business update function 2 with business update function 2. After that, the update of the application is completed.

[0096] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0097] Step 207: If an exception occurs during the application update process, the exception information is recorded in a log file.

[0098] Step 208: If the amount of abnormal information in the log file exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm or an abnormal message is issued.

[0099] Optionally, the abnormal information includes: failure to obtain the value of the first field, failure to modify the value of the first field, and failure to replace the business function to be updated with the business update function.

[0100] For step 207-step 208, during the application update process, if there are exceptions such as failure to obtain the value of the first field, failure to modify the value of the first field, failure to replace the business function to be updated with the business update function, etc., these exception information will be recorded in the log file.

[0101] Taking the preset threshold value of 10 as an example, an alarm is issued or an abnormal message is issued when the number of abnormal information in the log file exceeds 10. Of course, an alarm or an abnormal message can also be issued when abnormal information appears.

[0102] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0103] Step 209: During the process of calling the service update function, if the service update function cannot be obtained, processing is performed according to preset rules; the preset rules include: re-calling the service update function and recording an error.

[0104] For example, during the process of calling the service update function, if the service update function cannot be obtained, the service update function can be called again.

[0105] For example, during the process of calling the service update function, if the service update function cannot be obtained, an error may be recorded, that is, a record is made that the service update function cannot be obtained.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, a business update function of an application and an identifier associated with the business update function are obtained, and based on the identifier, a to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function is obtained, and the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function. After all to-be-updated business functions corresponding to all business update functions are replaced, the update of the application is completed, instead of redeploying all business functions required when updating the application on the application. Therefore, the system overhead can be reduced. In addition, by obtaining the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the first value, so that the to-be-updated business function is in an uncallable state. After the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the second value, so that the business update function is in a callable state. There is no need to restart the application. Instead, the update state of the business update function is represented by the first field corresponding to the business update function. When the value of the first field is the second value, the business update function can be called. Therefore, the delay of calling the business update function can be reduced, and the continuity of the business is improved.
