A system and method for electronic file management includes an object-oriented file management database, a volume manager, and a coherency manager. The volume manager manages electronic files and metadata relating to the files of one or more volumes. Each volume may include folders, files, and/or other digital content. The file management system may also automatically manage versions of electronic files. This version management may be based on opening, saving, and changing of files. A user interface facilitates user interaction with the file management system. The user interface may enable a user to view, within the file management system, one or more versions of the electronic files.

In a multi-node computer system, a software version management system is described having a version manager for ensuring that cluster nodes running completely incompatible software are unable to communicate with each other. The version manager provides a mechanism for determining when nodes in the cluster are running incompatible software and providing a way for determining the exact version of software that each node must run. The version manager provides support for rolling upgrades to enable the version management software to ensure the chosen version of software that runs the cluster stays constant even though the software installed on individual nodes is changing.

The present invention relates to a fine-granularity files and directory edition management method based on snapshots, belonging to the multi-version document system field. The present invention separates a name space consisting of files and dirnames in a whole file system from an edition space representing the generating periods of different editions, and adopts relatively independent strategies to execute management, forming a hierarchical two-dimensional structure, i.e. forming a hierarchical structure from a root directory to a file in the name space; in the edition space, the editions of files and directory are organized through an index structure chronologically, forming a hierarchical structure in the edition space. The retrieval of the name space adopts an index strategy based on dynamic hash. The retrieval of the edition space adopts an index strategy based on a red-black tree. The directory edition and file edition respectively adopt a red-black tree structure variant aiming at the respective characteristics. The present invention can greatly improve the usability and the performance of the system, and controls the amount of consumption of time and space resulting from the maintenance of historical editions in an acceptable scope.

The invention provides a software update system and a method. The software update method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: an update strategy module sets an update strategy according to information of a query version management module; the update strategy module checks whether the current version of a client is in line with the update strategy or not after the client logs in a server and returns a check result to the client; the client starts an update execution module to initiate the software update when being in line with the update strategy; and the update execution module downloads an update software package from the server and executes the update. When a fault occurs, the update software package is replaced by a fault repair package, and the software update method can be utilized for realizing the fault repair. The software update process and the fault maintenance process can become simpler and more controllable by setting the update strategy through the software update system and/or the method, and the practical effects are very significant.

An element management system in which: a list of fully-qualified versions of network elements is maintained, and the interface to each network element is managed in accordance with the highest fully-qualified version which is no later than the network element's actual version date, EVEN IF there is also a fully-qualified later version. By specifying a “managed level” which is fully qualified and is guaranteed not to be later than the actual revision of the network element, the possibility of hidden incompatibility is reduced. (Network elements are expected to be backwards compatible, but the addition of features may introduce some hidden forward incompatibility.).

A system and method for automatically updating software components on a running computer system without requiring any interruption of service. A software module is hotpatched by loading a patch into memory and modifying an instruction in the original module to jump to the patch. A coldpatching technique places a coldpatch version of the module on disk for subsequent loading by processes, after hotpatching occurred. The coldpatch has the entry points to its functions at the same relative locations within the module as the hotpatch, which facilitates subsequent hotpatching. A hotpatch and coldpatch are automatically generated by deriving differences between changed and original binary files, and establishing the point to insert the jump. Validation is performed to ensure that the hotpatch is applied to the correct version, and that the coldpatch is replacing the correct version. Version management is also provided to control the number of patches via support rules.

A computer-readable recording medium containing an application management program for automatically performing version management to surely manage versions of a client application that communicates with a server application. A communication request monitor acquires a communication request issued from a terminal device to a server, and extracts version information of a client application from the communication request. An upgrade determination unit determines whether the extracted version information shows the latest version, and determines that upgrade is necessary if the version is not the latest version. A setting file transmitter sends the communication request to the server if the upgrade determination unit does not determine that the upgrade is necessary. If the upgrade is necessary, on the contrary, the setting file transmitter discards the communication request and sends the client application setting file for the latest version to the terminal device sending the communication request.
