Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for processing commands in a network data processing system, the computer implemented method comprising: creating a set of commands for an aircraft in a plurality of aircrafts; storing the set of commands in a set of queues in a library in the network data processing system to form a stored set of commands; responsive to an event, sending the stored set of commands to a proxy server application executing on the network data processing system to form a distributed set of commands, wherein the stored set of commands is sent to a proxy server in crates; if the stored set of commands includes a set of uplink commands, placing a set of crated aircraft software parts into local inventory of the proxy server; establishing a connection between the proxy server application and an onboard electronic distribution system executing on an aircraft data processing system on the aircraft; requesting the distributed set of commands from the proxy server application by the onboard electronic distribution system; receiving the distributed set of commands from the proxy server application by the onboard electronic distribution system to form a received set of commands; processing the received set of commands by the onboard electronic distribution system to form a processed set of commands; and forwarding the set of crated aircraft software parts to a set of target data processing systems on the aircraft using the processed set of commands if the processed set of commands is the set of uplink commands.
