On Demand Capture of Database Application Environmental Resources

A computer-readable storage medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation, comprising:

• receiving, from a database job, a request for a database resource of a plurality of database resources;
• based on the request, updating a database resource allocation amount of the database resource for the database job, wherein the database resource allocation amount specifies an amount of the database resource allocated to the database job;
• and
• determining whether the database job is a primary consumer for the database resource, wherein a primary consumer is defined according to a consumption of the database resource relative to other database resource consumers, the determining based on:
• the database resource allocation amount of the database resource, allocated to the database job;
• and
• a respective database resource allocation amount of the database resource, allocated to each of the plurality of database resource consumers;
• upon determining that the database job is one of the plurality of primary consumers for the database resource:
• adding the database job to a list identifying one or more primary database resource consumers for the database resource;
• the list being stored on a computer readable storage medium.

A system, comprising:

• a memory containing code;
• a processor which, when executing the code:
• receives, from a database job, a request for a database resource of a plurality of database resources;
• based on the request, updates a database resource allocation amount of the database resource for the database job, wherein the database resource allocation amount specifies an amount of the database resource allocated to the database job;
• and
• determines whether the database job is a primary consumer for the database resource, wherein a primary consumer is defined according to a consumption of the database resource relative to other database resource consumers, the determining based on:
• the database resource allocation amount of the database resource, allocated to the database job;
• and
• a respective database resource allocation amount of the database resource, allocated to each of the plurality of database resource consumers;
• upon determining that the database job is one of the plurality of primary consumers for the database resource:
• adds the database job to a list identifying one or more primary database resource consumers for the database resource;
• the list being stored on a computer readable storage medium.
