TECHNIQUES FOR EFFICIENT APPLICATION CONFIGURATION PATCHING

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for application configuration patching. Certain techniques are disclosed herein that utilize a configuration patching module (CPM) tool using a single workflow to perform application configuration patching. The CPM can receive a set of one or more binary patches for one or more applications a set of one or more binary patches for one or more applications, and a set of one or more patch metadata declarations for the one or more applications which correspond to at least one of the binary patches. A set of one or more actions can be identified from the set of patch metadata declarations. The CPM can generate a configuration patching execution plan including a set of one or more steps to be performed to implement the set of actions, and execute the set of steps of the configuration patching execution plan.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at an configuration patch module executing at a computing device, a set of one or more binary patches for one or more applications, and a set of one or more patch metadata declarations for the one or more applications which correspond to at least one of the binary patches, wherein each patch metadata declaration of the set of patch metadata declarations indicates an action to be performed to modify configuration data associated with the one or more applications; identifying, from the set of patch metadata declarations, a set of one or more actions; generating, by the configuration patch module, a configuration patching execution plan including a set of one or more steps to be performed to implement the set of actions; and executing, by the configuration patch module, the set of steps of the configuration patching execution plan.
