System and method for active configuration management

A system for active configuration management of components of a data repository maintained in memory of a computer system, said system comprising:

• a file system monitor module capable of being instantiated into a plurality of file system event objects in response to the occurrence of a corresponding plurality of events associated with ones of said components;
• an event queue into which are entered said plurality of file system event objects;
• a listener module, in communication with said file system monitor module and said event queue, for generating a plurality of active configuration management (CM) commands on the basis of said plurality of file system event objects;
• and
• a command queue for storing said plurality of active CM commands, thereby facilitating execution of a corresponding plurality of configuration management (CM) operations involving said components.

A method for facilitating active configuration management of components of a data repository maintained in memory of a computer system, said method comprising:

• creating a plurality of file system event objects in response to the occurrence of a corresponding plurality of events associated with ones of said components;
• entering said plurality of file system event objects into an event queue;
• and
• generating a plurality of active configuration management (CM) commands on the basis of said plurality of file system event objects, said plurality of active CM commands capable of being executed to perform a corresponding plurality of configuration management (CM) operations involving said components.
