Estimating the term…
An autonomic rollback system. An autonomic rollback system can include a registry configured to store meta-data specifying a contemporary state of a system of components. The system also can include a backup location configured to store a backup copy of the meta-data in the registry specifying a past state of the system of components prior to installing a new component. A monitor can be programmed to compare the operation of the system of components with a policy defining a nominal state of operation for the system of components. Finally, a rollback processor can be coupled to the registry and the backup location. Responsive to the monitor, the rollback processor can restore the registry to the past state when the monitor determines that the operation of the system of components falls outside the nominal state defined within the policy. Importantly, the system of components can reside within an application server.
An autonomic rollback system comprising:
A method for autonomically rolling back a system of components in response to detecting a failure condition in the system, the method comprising the steps of:
A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for autonomically rolling back a system of components in response to detecting a failure condition in the system, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
An e-Registry configured to store meta-data specifying a contemporary state of a system of components and coupled to a backup location for storing a backup copy of said meta-data specifying a past state of said system of components prior to installing a new component, said e-Registry further comprising a communicative coupling to a monitor programmed to compare the operation of said system of components with a policy defining a nominal state of operation for said system of components, said e-Registry yet further comprising a communicative coupling to a rollback processor having programming for restoring said e-Registry to said past state when said monitor determines that the operation of said system of components falls outside said nominal state defined within said policy.
