Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for updating web pages on a web server without republishing the web pages, comprising: generating in a quality assurance database server by a backend database management application a live version of at least one business data table containing business information that is used to populate web pages on a production web server and a quality assurance version of said at least one business data table containing said business information that is used to populate web pages on a quality assurance web server; replicating by the backend database management application the live version of said at least one business data table via a database link from the quality assurance database server to a production database server; receiving entry on the quality assurance database server via a business workstation coupled to the quality assurance database server of a change to time-critical data on the quality assurance version of said at least one business data table and a designation of a time for the change to the time-critical data to be replicated from the quality assurance database server to the live version of said at least one business data table on the production database server; replicating by the backend database management application the change to the time-critical data on the quality assurance version of said at least one business data table at the designated time from the quality assurance database server to the live version of said at least one business data table on the production database server; and providing access via browsers on all customers' workstations, equally without apportioning or allocating said access among said customers, to the live version of said at least one business data table by the production database server immediately upon replicating by the backend database management application the change to the time-critical data on the quality assurance version of said at least one business data table at the designated time from the quality assurance database server to the live version of said at least one business data table on the production database server.
