System and method for on demand registration of tasks

A task registration system for a task manager facility of a system administration manager of a computer system for efficient registration of system management tasks, comprising:

• a static registration mechanism invoked when installing an application and configured to save a task name, a file index number and a byte offset for each task in a static task list, and to save a path, said file index number and global definitions for each task description file in a static files list;
• and
• a runtime registration mechanism initialized by loading said static task list and said static files list into a memory when said system administration manager is initially invoked in a user session, said runtime registration mechanism invoked when a task is requested to be performed by said task manager facility, and configured to load a task description of said task into said memory when said task is being requested for a first time so that only requested tasks are loaded into said memory.
