Implementing locale management on paas: locale replacement risk analysis

An apparatus for implementing system locale management including locale replacement risk analysis in a computer system comprising:

• a processor,
• a Locale Update Risk Analysis Agent (RAA) tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine readable medium used to implement locale replacement risk analysis;
• said processor using said Locale Update Risk Analysis Agent (RAA), scanning globalization API usages on each pair of locale and running applications;
• comparing the scanned API list with predefined API locale sensitive weights, and calculating a locale replacement risk index on each application under a certain locale and making a living locale-object update decision based on the calculated locale replacement risk indexes;
• identifying running applications not ready for the living locale-object update decision, moving the identified not ready running applications to another node;
• and deploying a living local object update session in a targeted node, and applying a new locale object file set.
