Abstract

The present invention relates to a script management technology. Disclosed are approaches for managing scripts carried out in a script management server, which is connected to a user terminal and which manages script codes. Approaches comprise preparing a plurality of databases including a meta database and a plurality of script databases without necessarily separating physically the two types of databases; designating an active script database by providing the plurality of the original script lists to the user terminal; and storing identifiers of the user terminal and the designated active script database in the meta database, where the plurality of script databases are classified according to script version and each of them manages the original script code and user-specific script code, and the meta database manages a plurality of the original script lists related to the plurality of script databases and a list of user-specific scripts.

Claims

1. A method for managing scripts carried out in a script management server which is connected to a user terminal and manages script codes, the method comprising:

preparing, by the script management server, a plurality of databases including a meta database and a plurality of script databases, wherein the script management server comprises at least one computing device;

designating, by the script management server, an active script database by providing a plurality of original script lists to the user terminal; and

storing, by the script management server, identifiers of the user terminal and the designated active script database in the meta database, wherein the plurality of script databases are classified according to script version and each of the plurality of script databases manages the original script code and user-specific script code, and wherein the meta database manages the plurality of original script lists related to the plurality of script databases and a list of user-specific scripts, if a script code in the active script database is updated through the user terminal, updating, by the script management server, a script list and script codes of the corresponding user stored in the meta database and the designated active script database, respectively, wherein the updating a script list and script codes of the corresponding user further comprises, if the script code is updated through the user terminal, updating the script in the plurality of script databases into a script of new version for the corresponding script.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the updating a script list and script codes of the corresponding user further comprises determining a script code version of the updated script code.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the updating a script list and script codes of the corresponding user further comprises enabling each of the meta database and the designated active script database to track the script list and script codes of the corresponding user according to the determined script code version.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of lists of original scripts and the list of user-specific scripts are generated to form a tree structure according to a function of the corresponding script code.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if another active script database is designated by the user terminal, updating, by the script management server, the stored identifier of the active script database.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising removing a script list and script codes of the corresponding user through the user terminal.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if addition of a particular script is requested by the user terminal, adding, by the script management server, the particular script into the active script database.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing the user terminal to store shortcuts to particular script codes in the script list of the corresponding user as a favorites list.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the allowing short cuts as a favorites list further comprises recording the path and identifier of the corresponding script in a bookmark file and providing the bookmark file to the user terminal.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting, by the script management server, a script list and part of script codes of the corresponding user to the user terminal read in the form of text file by another computer program.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting a script list and part of script codes of the corresponding user to the user terminal as a database backup file read by the script management server.

12. A script management server being connected to a user terminal and managing script codes, the script management server including a plurality of computing devices capable of distributed processing, the plurality of devices comprising:

an active script database designating unit designating an active script database by providing the user terminal with a plurality of original script lists;

a plurality of script databases being classified according to script version, each of the plurality of script databases storing original script codes and user-specific script codes;

a meta database storing the plurality of original script lists associated with the plurality of script databases and user-specific script list; and

a database updating unit storing identifiers of the user terminal and the designated active script database in the meta database and, if a script code in the active script database is updated through the user terminal, updating the script list and script codes of the corresponding user stored respectively in the meta database and the designated active script database, wherein the database updating unit, if the script code is updated through the user terminal, updates a new version of script for the corresponding script in the plurality of script databases.

13. The script management server of claim 12, wherein each of the plurality of original script lists and the user-specific script list is generated in the form of a tree structure according to the function of the corresponding script code.

14. The script management server of claim 12, wherein the database updating unit determines script code version of the updated script code.

15. The script management server of claim 14, wherein the database updating unit enables each of the meta database and the designated active script database to track the script list and script codes of the corresponding user according to the script code version determined.

16. The script management server of claim 12, wherein the database updating unit, if another active script database is designated by the user terminal, updates an identifier of the stored active script database.

17. The script management server of claim 12, wherein the database updating unit removes a script list and script codes of the corresponding user through the user terminal.

18. The script management server of claim 12, wherein the database updating unit, if addition of a particular script is requested by the user terminal, adds the particular script to the active script database.

19. The script management server of claim 12, further comprising a bookmark managing unit with which the user terminal stores shortcuts to particular script codes in a script list of the corresponding user as a favorites list.

20. The script management server of claim 19, wherein the bookmark managing unit records the path and identifier of the corresponding script in a bookmark file and provides the bookmark file to the user terminal.

21. The script management server of claim 12, further comprising a file generating unit which generates a file read in the form of a text file by another computer program in the user terminal from the script list of the corresponding user and part of script codes.

22. The script management server of claim 21, wherein the file generating unit generates a database backup file read by the script management server in the user terminal from the script list of the corresponding user and the script codes.
