Configuration change without disruption of incomplete processes
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving input into a computing system including at least one processor, the input representative of a configuration change to at least one configuration setting of a computer application executed by the at least one processor;
storing a copy of a setting of the at least one configuration setting from a current configuration setting storage location in an historical configuration setting storage location in a data storage device of the computing system;
storing the input representative of the configuration change in the current configuration setting storage location as a new configuration setting of the at least one configuration setting of the computer application;
completing processes initiated according to the copied at least one configuration setting stored in the historical configuration setting storage location to prevent disruption of incomplete processes; and
subsequent to the storing of the input representative of the configuration change as the new configuration setting, initiating new processes according to the new configuration setting of the at least one configuration setting.

Abstract
Various embodiments include one or more of systems, methods, software, and data structures to provide flexibility when configuring systems to new or different processes while not disrupting incomplete processes. Some embodiments include receiving input representative of a configuration change to at least one configuration setting and storing a copy of a setting of the at least one configuration setting from a current configuration to an historical configuration setting storage location. Such embodiments may further include storing the input representative of the configuration change into the current configuration. Following such configuring processes already initiated may be completed according to the copied historical configuration setting and new processes may be initiated according to the new configuration setting. These and other embodiments are described herein.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by computer, cause the computer to perform actions comprising:
-
receiving input into a computing system including at least one processor, the input representative of a configuration change to at least one configuration setting of a computer application executed by the at least one processor; storing a copy of a setting of the at least one configuration setting from a current configuration setting storage location in an historical configuration setting storage location in a data storage device of the computing system; storing the input representative of the configuration change in the current configuration setting storage location as a new configuration setting of the at least one configuration setting of the computer application; completing processes initiated according to the copied at least one configuration setting stored in the historical configuration setting storage location to prevent disruption of incomplete processes; and subsequent to the storing of the input representative of the configuration change as the new configuration setting, initiating new processes according to the new configuration setting of the at least one configuration setting. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
