In the field of Internet finance, there is a high risk of production accidents due to parameter inconsistencies between testing and production environments, which can lead to application failures, given the stringent requirements of financial information systems.

Innovation Solution

A system parameter processing method that compares actual and test values of parameters across production and testing environments, allowing for rapid identification and modification of inconsistent settings to ensure consistency and prevent accidents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If parameter configurations are performed manually during deployment to production environment, then deployment flexibility is maintained, but parameter inconsistency risk increases leading to production accidents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter consistencyVSAvoidparameter management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy mechanism where production environment parameters are automatically synchronized from the testing environment. A parameter configuration file is generated in the testing environment and automatically copied to the production environment, ensuring consistency without manual reconfiguration. This copying approach eliminates manual errors while maintaining deployment flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system automatically detects parameter inconsistencies between testing and production environments. When discrepancies are found, the system provides feedback by highlighting the inconsistent parameters and automatically corrects them by syncing the production parameters with the testing environment, ensuring continuous consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If comprehensive parameter testing is performed in testing environment, then application stability is improved, but time consumption increases due to manual parameter verification in production environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication stabilityVSAvoidparameter verification time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs parameter verification in advance during the testing environment configuration phase. The system automatically generates a parameter configuration file containing all tested and verified parameters before deployment. This preliminary action ensures that when the application is deployed to the production environment, the parameters are already verified and ready for automatic synchronization, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual verification later.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements an automatic parameter verification and synchronization system that performs self-service functionality. The system automatically compares parameters between testing and production environments, identifies inconsistencies, and corrects them without requiring manual intervention. This self-service mechanism significantly reduces the time needed for parameter verification while maintaining comprehensive checking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If manual parameter configuration is used in production environment, then operational flexibility is maintained, but error rate increases causing production accidents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter configuration easeVSAvoidproduction safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of a parameter synchronization system that acts as a mediator between the testing environment and the production environment. This intermediary automatically transfers and verifies parameter configurations, ensuring that only consistent and verified parameters are applied in the production environment. This intermediary layer maintains operational flexibility while eliminating manual configuration errors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
