Title: METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING CHANGES FOR A SERVER SYSTEM
Abstract: A method and systems for monitoring changes for a server system (200) are disclosed. Data are obtained (100) from the server system, and the data are processed (102) to determine a first change for the server system. A record of the first determined change is stored (104). The first determined change is then compared (106) to a second determined change (100a-104a) for the server system, and the comparison is used (108) to evaluate the second determined change for the server system. The second determined change may be a current change for the server system, and the first determined change a previously determined change; the step of comparing may compare (106) the stored record of the previously determined change to the current change.

Claims: number: 1
text: A method of monitoring changes for a server system (200), comprising:
number: 2
text: A method according to Claim 1, wherein the second determined change is a current change for the server system, and the first determined change is a previously determined change for the server system,
and wherein the step of comparing comprises comparing (106) the stored record of the previously determined change to the current change.
number: 3
text: A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the step of obtaining comprises obtaining data from a dataset (502, 504, 506) of the server system, and wherein the method comprises, for the second determined change:
number: 4
text: A method according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein the steps of obtaining and processing comprise:
number: 5
text: A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the steps of comparing and using the comparison comprise:
number: 6
text: A method according to any preceding claim, comprising, following the step of using the comparison:
number: 7
text: A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the steps of obtaining the data and processing the data to determine the first change for the server system comprise:
number: 8
text: A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the steps of obtaining the data and processing the data to determine the first change comprise:
number: 9
text: A method according to any preceding claim, comprising, following the step of storing the record of the change determined, discarding data used to determine the change.
number: 10
text: A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the server system is a database system, and comprises: a database (410); and a database management system (430).
number: 11
text: A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the data obtained comprise data relating to one or more of: data objects; schema; size; status; access history; synchronisation; replication; operating system; and management parameters of a database of the server system.
number: 12
text: A system for monitoring changes for a server system (200), comprising a processor configured to carry out the method of any preceding claim.
number: 13
text: A system for monitoring changes for a server system (200), comprising:
number: 14
text: A computer program application, or a computer readable medium comprising computer program code, adapted, when loaded into or run on a computer or processor, to cause the computer or processor to carry out a method according to any of the Claims 1 to 11.
