Methods and apparatus for performing database management utility processes

An apparatus, comprising:

• a mainframe computing device including an initiation manager configured to identify a database object processing task associated with a management utility process;
• and
• a non-mainframe computing device configured to execute the database object processing task, and configured to send, to the mainframe computing device, an indicator that execution of the database object processing task has been completed,
• the mainframe computing device including a termination manager configured to receive the indicator that the database object processing task has been completed, and configured to terminate the management utility process in response to the indicator.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform a process, the instructions comprising instructions to:

• receive, at a non-mainframe computing environment, an identifier of a database object and a description of a task for processing the database object;
• access the database object at a storage device via a storage interface;
• process the database object at the non-mainframe computing environment based on the task;
• and
• send an indicator, to a mainframe computing environment, that processing based on the task has been completed.
