Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method of managing the configuration of a plurality of servers, said method comprising:
- receiving a user selection of an application program parameter;
determining whether the user selection corresponds to a modifiable application program parameter;
responsive to determining that the user selection corresponds to a user modifiable application program parameter, receiving a user modification to the user selected application program parameter;
communicating the user modified application program parameter to a server manager;
determining a table, from a plurality of tables, to update in a database; and
responsive to determining the table to update in the database, updating the table in the database with the user modified application parameter.

Abstract
A computer system comprises servers running application programs which are controlled, at least in part, by configuration parameters. The parameters are updated by first updating a database of configuration parameters, and then automatically updating the servers in accordance with the database updates to automatically maintain synchronization between the server configuration and the database.

7. A system comprising:
-
a memory; a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to; receive a user selection of an application program parameter; determine whether the user selection corresponds to a user modifiable application program parameter; in response to determining that the user selection corresponds to a user modifiable application program parameter, receiving a user modification to the user selected application program parameter; communicate the user modified application program parameter to a server manager;
means for determining a table, from a plurality of tables, to update in a database; andupdate the table in the database with the user modified application parameter, responsive to determining the table to update in the database. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
