[0028] With reference to the drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present 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 interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of a kind and do not limit the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0030] With the development and change of business, application programs need to be frequently updated to introduce new functions, fix known problems or optimize performance. Application program update refers to the process of repairing and improving the application program, and performing application program update can fix vulnerabilities in the application program and improve the performance and stability of the application program.

[0031] The traditional application program update method, after receiving the update request instruction, stops the application program, and then deploys all the business functions required during the application program update on the application program and restarts the application program. The traditional application program update method often requires the application program to be stopped, which will have a negative impact on the continuity of the business 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 the embodiment of the present application, the business update function of the application program and the identifier associated with the business update function are obtained, the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function is obtained according to the identifier, and the to-be-updated business function is replaced with the business update function. After all the to-be-updated business functions corresponding to the business update function are replaced, the update of the application program is completed. Instead of deploying all the business functions required when updating the application program on the application program, 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 to make the to-be-updated business function 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 to make the business update function in a callable state. Instead of restarting the application program, 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 time delay of the business update function call can be reduced, and the continuity of the business is improved.

[0033] Figure 1 is a step flow chart of an application program updating method provided by the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , the method can include the following steps:

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

[0035] For example, the update request instruction is used to obtain the latest data, information or state. It plays an important role in software applications, online services or database management systems, ensuring that users can obtain accurate and real-time information. For example, in a software application, when a developer releases a new version, the user may receive a prompt asking whether to update the application. After the user clicks the "update" button, a signal that the update has been requested is sent, and the system will start downloading and installing the latest version of the application program.

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

[0037] The business updating function can also be referred to as a new function. The business updating function can be a method code block, which processes parameters in the method code block by passing in the parameters, and then outputs the processing result. For example, the business function can be a blackcall function.

[0038] The identifier can be information anchored to the business function to be updated, and is used to indicate the business function to be updated corresponding to the business updating function. Specifically, the identifier can also be used to locate a memory segment of the business function to be updated, so that the business function to be updated is replaced by the business updating function in the memory segment of the business function to be updated.

[0039] In step 102, a value of a first field corresponding to the business updating function is obtained, and the value of the first field is modified to a first value. The first value is used to represent that the business function to be updated is in an uncallable state.

[0040] The value of the first field corresponds to the business updating function one by one, and each business updating function has a value of the first field.

[0041] The first field can be a sign field, and the first value can 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 is locked, and an external program cannot obtain the business function to be updated.

[0042] The first field can be a sign field, and the first value can 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 is locked, and an external program cannot obtain the business function to be updated.

[0043] In step 103, according to the identifier, the business function to be updated corresponding to the business updating function is obtained, and the business function to be updated is replaced by the business updating function.

[0044] The identifier can be information anchored to the business function to be updated. According to the identifier, the business function to be updated can be queried, so that the business function to be updated is replaced by the business updating function in a memory segment where the business function to be updated is located. For example, the identifier can be name=blackCall, the identifier can be index=16, and the identifier can also be name=blackCall, index=16.

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

[0046] In step 104, the value of the first field is modified to a second value; the second value is used to represent that the business update function is in a callable state; and the second value is 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 to-be-updated business function has been replaced by the business update function, the update is completed, the to-be-updated business function is unlocked, and the external program can call the business update function and execute the business update function.

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

[0049] For example, in the process of replacing the to-be-updated business function with the business update function, by modifying the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function, the safety release of the to-be-updated business function and the correct loading of the business update function can be ensured.

[0050] For example, after the to-be-updated business function is replaced by the business update function, 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, the external program can call the business update function and execute the business update function, without the need to restart the application program, and the business update function is called after restarting, so that the timeliness of the business update function can be reduced and the continuity of the business can be improved.

[0051] In step 105, after all the to-be-updated business functions corresponding to the business update functions are replaced, the update of the application program is completed.

[0052] For example, after the to-be-updated business function to be updated is replaced by the corresponding business update function, the application program update is completed.

[0053] For example, when the number of business update functions is 3, the business update function 1 is used to replace the to-be-updated business function 1 corresponding to the business update function 1, the business update function 2 is used to replace the to-be-updated business function 2 corresponding to the business update function 2, and the business update function 3 is used to replace the to-be-updated business function 3 corresponding to the business update function 3, the updating of the application program is completed.

[0054] In conclusion, in the embodiment of the present application, the business update functions of the application program and the identifiers associated with the business update functions are obtained, the to-be-updated business functions corresponding to the business update functions are obtained according to the identifiers, and the to-be-updated business functions are replaced by the business update functions. After the to-be-updated business functions corresponding to all the business update functions are replaced, the updating of the application program is completed. Instead of deploying all the business functions of the application program again when the application program is updated, 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 to make the to-be-updated business function in an uncallable state. After the to-be-updated business function is replaced by the business update function, the value of the first field is modified to the second value to make the business update function in a callable state. Instead of restarting the application program, 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 latency of the business update function call can be reduced, and the continuity of the business is improved.

[0055] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another application program updating method provided by the present application, which is described in detail below. Figure 2 The method can include the following steps.

[0056] Step 201, in response to an updating request instruction of an application program, obtaining business update functions of the application program and identifiers associated with the business update functions included in the updating request instruction; the identifier is used to indicate a to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0057] This step can refer to the above step 101, which will not be described here.

[0058] Optionally, step 201 can specifically include:

[0059] Substep 2011, if there are multiple business update functions, determining the update order of each business update function according to the time stamp of each business update function reaching the application program.

[0060] Substep 2012, obtaining the business update functions and the identifiers associated with the business update functions according to the update order of each business update function.

[0061] For sub-step 2011-sub-step 2012, taking the number of business update functions as 3 for example, if the time when the business update function 1 reaches the application program is earlier than the time when the business update function 3 reaches the application program, and the time when the business update function 3 reaches the application program is earlier than the time when the business update function 2 reaches the application program, first, the business update function 1 is updated, then the business update function 3 is updated, and finally, the business update function 2 is updated. According to the update order of the business update function 1, the business update function 3 and the business update function 2, the business update function 1 and the identifier associated with the business update function 1 are acquired first, then the business update function 3 and the identifier associated with the business update function 3, the business update function 2 and the identifier associated with the business update function 2 are acquired.

[0062] In step 202, the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function is acquired, and the value of the first field is modified to a first value; the first value is used to represent that the to-be-updated business function is in an uncallable state.

[0063] This step can refer to the above-mentioned step 102, and will not be described here.

[0064] In step 203, the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function is obtained according to the identifier, and the memory segment of the to-be-updated business function in the function pool is acquired; the function pool stores the to-be-updated business function.

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

[0066] For example, the function pool can store the function name and the to-be-updated business function. The to-be-updated business function with the same function name as the business update function is obtained through the function name of the business update function, and the to-be-updated business function with the same function name as the business update function is taken as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0067] For example, the function pool can also store the function coordinates and the to-be-updated business function. The function coordinates refer to recording the sequence coordinates of the to-be-updated business function in the function set when the to-be-updated business function is put into the function set, and the to-be-updated business function with the same function coordinates as the business update function is obtained through the function coordinates. The to-be-updated business function with the same function coordinates as the business update function is taken as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0068] According to the identifier, the memory segment of the to-be-updated service function in the function pool is obtained, that is, the to-be-updated service function related to the identifier can be anchored according to the identifier, so that the position of the to-be-updated service function in the function pool can be obtained.

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

[0070] The sub-step 2031 obtains the to-be-updated service function matching the function name of the service update function according to the first correspondence relationship between the function name in the function pool and the to-be-updated service function, and takes the to-be-updated service function matching the function name of the service update function as the to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function.

[0071] Optionally, the function pool stores the function name and the to-be-updated service function; after the service update function is obtained, the to-be-updated service function matching the function name of the service update function in the function pool is obtained, which is the to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function.

[0072] For example, the function name is blackcall, and the identifier is name=blackcall; the to-be-updated service function with the function name blackcall in the function pool is taken as the to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function.

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

[0074] The sub-step 2032 obtains the to-be-updated service function matching the function coordinate of the service update function according to the second correspondence relationship between the function coordinate in the function pool and the to-be-updated service function, and takes the to-be-updated service function matching the function coordinate of the service update function as the to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function.

[0075] Optionally, the function pool stores the function coordinate and the to-be-updated service function; after the service update function is obtained, the to-be-updated service function matching the function coordinate of the service update function in the function pool is obtained, which is the to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function.

[0076] For example, the function coordinate is 16, and the identifier is index=16; the to-be-updated service function with the function coordinate 16 in the function pool is taken as the to-be-updated service function corresponding to the service update function.

[0077] For example, the function pool stores a function name, a function coordinate, and a to-be-updated business function. After obtaining the business update function, the to-be-updated business function in the function pool that matches the function name and the function coordinate of the business update function is obtained, that is, the to-be-updated business function 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. The to-be-updated business function with the function name blackcall and the function coordinate 16 in the function pool is taken as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0079] For example, the function name is blackcall, and the function coordinate is 16, that is, the identifier is name=blackcall, index=16. The to-be-updated business function with the function name blackcall and the function coordinate 16 in the function pool is taken as the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

[0080] For example, the function pool stores a function name, a function coordinate, and a to-be-updated business function. After obtaining the business update function, the to-be-updated business function in the function pool that matches the function name and the function coordinate of the business update function is obtained, that is, the to-be-updated business function corresponding to the business update function.

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

[0082] Step A1, obtaining a value of a 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 a third value, modifying the value of the second field to a fourth value; the third value is used to represent that the business update function can write into the function pool; the fourth value is used to represent that the business update functions included in the update request instruction except the business update function cannot write 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, modifying the value of the second field to the third value.

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

[0087] The value of the second field is obtained. If the value of the second field is 0, it indicates that the business update function can write into the function pool. The value of the second field is modified to 1, the to-be-updated business function is deleted, the business update function is written into the memory segment where the to-be-updated business function is located, and then the value of the second field is modified to 0, so that the to-be-updated business function corresponding to other business update functions can be updated. The value of the second field is obtained, and whether the write permission is determined according to the value of the second field. The implementation is relatively simple.

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

[0089] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0090] Step A4, if the value of the second field is the fourth value, the business update function is added to the waiting queue, and the value of the second field is reacquired until the value of the second field is the third value, and the step of modifying the value of the second field to the fourth value is executed.

[0091] For example, the third value is 0 and the fourth value is 1. If the value of the second field is 1, it indicates that the business update function currently does not have write permission. The business update function is added to the waiting queue, the value of the second field is reacquired, and the value of the second field is 0, indicating that the business update function currently has write permission and can write into the function pool. Then the value of the second field is modified to 1, the to-be-updated business function is deleted, the business update function is written into the memory segment where the to-be-updated business function is located, and then the value of the second field is modified to 0, so that the to-be-updated business function 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 represent that the business update function is in a callable state; and the second value is a value different from the first value.

[0093] In an example, after the to-be-updated business function is deleted and the business update function is written in the memory area where the to-be-updated business function is located, the value of the first field corresponding to the business update function is modified to the second value, i.e., 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. Without restarting the application program, the business update function is called after the application program is restarted, so that the timeliness of calling the business update function can be reduced and the continuity of the business can be improved.

[0094] In step 206, after the to-be-updated business function corresponding to all the business update functions is replaced, the updating of the application program is completed.

[0095] In an example, the number of business update functions is 3, the updating sequence is: updating the business update function 1, updating the business update function 3, and updating the business update function 2. After the to-be-updated business function 1 corresponding to the business update function 1 is replaced by the business update function 1, the to-be-updated business function 3 corresponding to the business update function 3 is replaced by the business update function 3, and finally, the to-be-updated business function 2 corresponding to the business update function 2 is replaced by the business update function 2. After that, the updating of the application program is completed.

[0096] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0097] In step 207, during the updating of the application program, if an exception occurs, the exception information is recorded in a log file.

[0098] In step 208, if the number of exception information in the log file exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm or a message of the exception is sent.

[0099] Optionally, the exception information includes: the value of the first field cannot be obtained, the modification of the value of the first field fails, and the replacement of the to-be-updated business function by the business update function fails.

[0100] In steps 207-208, during the updating of the application program, if an exception occurs, such as the value of the first field cannot be obtained, the modification of the value of the first field fails, or the replacement of the to-be-updated business function by the business update function fails, the exception information is recorded in a log file.

[0101] In an example, when the number of exception information in the log file exceeds 10, an alarm or a message of the exception is sent. Of course, the alarm or the message of the exception can also be sent when the exception information occurs.

[0102] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0103] Step 209, in the process of calling the service update function, if the service update function cannot be acquired, a preset rule is used for processing; the preset rule includes: re-calling the service update function, recording an error.

[0104] For example, in the process of calling the service update function, if the service update function cannot be acquired, the service update function can be re-called.

[0105] For example, in the process of calling the service update function, if the service update function cannot be acquired, an error can be recorded, that is, the service update function cannot be acquired.
