Abstract:
1. A method, carried out by at least a processor, comprising generating and storing, in a relational database table, a unique schema name for an instance of a first application that belongs to a first logical group where the unique schema name for the instance of the first application is generated by appending a logical schema name to a first meta-data name; identifying at least one instance of a second application that belongs to a second logical group, where the second application is distinct from the first application; generating and storing, in the relational database table, a unique schema name for the at least one instance of the second application that belongs to the second logical group where the unique schema name for the at least one instance of the second application is generated by appending the logical schema name to a second meta-data name, and concurrently executing the instance of the first application and the at least one instance of the second application by controlling access to an application database by translating the logical schema name from the instance of the first application or the at least one instance of the second application into the corresponding unique schema name for the instance of the first application or the at least one instance of the second application using the relational database table.
