System and method for database management
First Claim
1. A method of managing multiple databases in a data processing system, comprising:
- displaying, on a display device, a first user interface screen configured for managing the multiple databases, the first user interface screen comprising a viewable representation of a plurality of selectable databases;
receiving a user selection of a subset of databases from the plurality of selectable databases;
displaying, on the display device, a second user interface screen, the second user interface screen comprising a viewable representation of a plurality of selectable operations applicable to the databases;
receiving a user selection of an operation of the plurality of selectable operations;
executing a master agent configured to determine a preferred sequence to execute one or more local agents and to invoke the execution of one or more local agents in the preferred sequence, wherein the local agents perform the selected operation to each database of the subset of databases.
