Abstract
The present invention refers to a system, a method and product for automatically identifying quality defects in configuration parameters of a database system and for automatically correcting them according to predefined quality procedures. The method is executed on a central server (12) and on several satellite systems (10) as well. The method may be integral part of an enterprise resource planning system.
Claims27
In an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, a computer system for transforming a plurality of database systems each included with a respective one of a plurality of satellite systems, comprising:
- at least one central server and
- at least one satellite system with an engine for measuring a plurality of configuration parameters for a database configuration and for executing generated correction instructions
- a database internal network connection between the central server and the at least one satellite system,
- wherein the central server comprises:
- A measurement input interface for detecting configuration parameters that configure at least one of the satellite systems, wherein the configuration parameters specify how at least one of said plurality of data systems on said at least one of said satellite systems are configured,
- A test input interface for receiving test data associated with at least one of the satellite systems,
- An analyzer for receiving said detected configurations parameters from said at least one of the satellite systems, prior to identification that an error is included in said configuration parameters, and for analyzing the received configuration parameters from said at least one of the satellite systems with respect to the received test data to determine if any of said configuration parameters includes said error,
- A correction module for generating correction instructions for correcting said error if said analyzing identifies said error in said configuration parameters and for transferring the correction instructions from said central server in order to correct said error,
- wherein the measurement input interface, the analyzer and the correction module exchange data by a database internal interface (API).
A method for transforming a database system, wherein an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is transformed as the database system with a central server and at least one satellite system in a secure and stable configuration state comprising:
- detecting configuration parameters that configure at least one of the satellite systems, wherein the configuration parameters specify how at least one of said plurality of data systems on said at least one of said satellite systems are configured,
- Providing a test input interface for receiving test data,
- receiving said detected configuration parameters from said at least one of the satellite systems, prior to identification that an error is included in said configuration parameters,
- analyzing the received configuration parameters from said at least one of the satellite systems with respect to the received test data to determine if any of said configuration parameters includes said error,
- generating correction instructions for correcting said error if said analyzing identifies said error in said configuration parameters and
- transferring the correction instructions from said central server in order to correct said error.
In an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, a computer implemented method for transforming a plurality of database systems each included with a respective one of a plurality of satellite systems, said method comprising the steps of:
- detecting configuration parameters that configure at least one of the satellite systems, wherein the configuration parameters specify how at least one of said plurality of database systems on said at least one of said satellite systems are configured
- receiving said detected configuration parameters from said at least one of the satellite systems, prior to identifying that an error is included in said configuration parameters;
- receiving test data associated with at least one of the satellite systems,
- analyzing the received configuration parameters from said at least one of the satellite systems with respect to the received test data to determine if any of said configuration parameters includes said error;
- generating correction instructions for correcting said error if said analyzing identifies said error in said configuration parameters;
- transferring the correction instructions from said central server in order to correct said error.
