System and Method for Performing an Administrative Task upon the Occurrence of a Triggering Event
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method of automatically performing an administrative task upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the method comprising:
- recognizing a need to perform an administrative task a data server, in response to the triggering event;
determining an operational status of the data server in order to determine a communication protocol for communicating with the data server;
selecting the communication protocol based on the operational status of the data server;
adding the selected administrative task to a task list; and
executing the selected administrative task at the occurrence of any of a predetermined execution time or a predetermined event.

Abstract
In response to a triggering event, a resilient administrative schedule system recognizes a need to perform an administrative task on one of a set of data servers. A user selects the administrative task. The system determines an operational status of the data server to determine a communication protocol for communicating with the data server, selects the communication protocol based on the operational status of the data server adding the selected administrative task to a task list, and automatically executes the selected administrative task at a predetermined execution time without intervention by a human administrator.
