A system comprising:

• a memory having computer-readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors for executing the computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions comprising:

• assigning a first set of resources of the first management system to the new management application, wherein the first set of resources support a first request server and a first worker server;
• starting a new worker server of the new management system, wherein the new worker server utilizes the first set of resources of the first management system;
• instructing the first request server to send a first set of future requests of the first request server to the new worker server;
• and
• instructing the first request server to redirect a remainder of the future requests of the first request server to a new request server of the new management application;
• wherein the new management application operates a new management system based on the first management system.

A computer-program product for updating a management system, the computer-program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• generating a new management application based on a first management application, wherein the first management application operates a first management system;
• assigning a first set of resources of the first management system to the new management application, wherein the first set of resources support a first request server and a first worker server;
• starting a new worker server of the new management system, wherein the new worker server utilizes the first set of resources of the first management system;
• instructing the first request server to send a first set of future requests of the first request server to the new worker server;
• and
• instructing the first request server to redirect a remainder of the future requests of the first request server to a new request server of the new management application;
• wherein the new management application operates a new management system based on the first management system.
