Abstract

A system and method for managing a plurality of proxy servers in a multi-tenant database system is provided. The method, for example, may include, but is not limited to, receiving, by a processor, a first command, generating, by the processor, a second command for each of the plurality of proxy servers based upon the first command, and transmitting each of the generated second commands to the respective proxy server.

Claims

1. A method for managing a plurality of proxy servers in a multi-tenant application system, comprising:

receiving, by a processor, a first command;

generating, by the processor, a customized second command for each of the plurality of proxy servers based upon the first command; and

transmitting each of the generated second commands to the respective proxy server.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first command is a purge command including an identifier of a resource.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first command is a purge preview command including an identifier of a resource.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a list of resources matching the identifier;

generating, by the processor, a purge command to purge at least a subset of the resources in the received list of resources; and

transmitting the command to purge the at least subset of the resources in the list of resources to the respective proxy server.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

tracking, by the processor, an execution of each of the second commands.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the processor is configured to utilize a thread pool executor to track the execution of each of the second commands.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first command is a command requesting usage statistics.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a response to each of the second commands from the plurality of proxy servers;

organizing, by the processor, data from the response from the at least some of the plurality of proxy servers; and

displaying, by the processor, the organized data on a display device.

9. An application server in a multi-tenant application system, comprising:

a memory configured to store addresses for each a plurality of proxy servers communicatively coupled to the application server; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to;

receive a first command,

generate a customized second command for each of the plurality of proxy servers communicatively coupled to the application server based upon the address of the plurality of proxy servers stored in the memory and based upon the first command, and

transmit each of the generated second commands to the respective proxy server.

10. The application server of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to track an execution of each of the transmitted second commands via a thread pool executor.

11. The application server of claim 9, wherein the first command is a purge command including an identifier of a resource.

12. The application server of claim 9, wherein the first command is a purge preview command including an identifier of a resource.

13. The application server of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receiving a list of resources matching the identifier;

generating a purge command to purge at least a subset of the resources in the received list of resources; and

transmitting the command to purge the at least subset of the resources in the list of resources to the respective proxy server.

14. The application server of claim 9, wherein the first command is a command requesting usage statistics.

15. The application server of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a response from at least some of the plurality of proxy servers;

organize data from the response from the at least some of the plurality of proxy servers; and

display the organized data on a display device.

16. A computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processor in an application server in a multi-tenant application system, cause the processor to:

receive a first command;

generate a customized second command for each of a plurality of proxy servers communicatively coupled to the application server based upon an address of the plurality of proxy servers stored in a memory and based upon the first command; and

transmit each of the generated second commands to the respective proxy server.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 which when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to track an execution of each of the transmitted second commands via a thread pool executor.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the first command is a purge command including an identifier of a resource.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 which when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to:

receive a list of resources matching the identifier;

generate a purge command to purge at least subset of the resources in the received list of resources; and

transmit the command to purge the at least a subset of the resources in the list of resources to the respective proxy server.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 which when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to:

receive a response from at least some of the plurality of proxy servers;

organize data from the response from the at least some of the plurality of proxy servers; and

display the organized data on a display device.
