Abstract:
A system and method of implementing a dynamic change in a server operating condition in a secured server network. A handling server receives a first request from a network device to access a specific service to be processed by a first application server. The handling server sends a first task to a first application server to process the first request, wherein the first task is stored and scheduled in a task processing queue of the first application server. The handling server receives a stand-by status command from the first application server indicating that it is going into a stand-by mode. The handling server does not send any new tasks to the first application server after receiving the stand-by status command. The handling server receives a first output result associated with the first task from the first application server, wherein the handling server sends the first output result to the network device.
Abstract:
A system and method of implementing a dynamic change in a server operating condition in a secured server network comprises operating an application server, wherein the application server processes a plurality of scheduled tasks on behalf of one or more requesting network devices when in an operating mode. The scheduled tasks are assigned to the application server by a handling server. A stand-by status command sent from the application server to the handling server indicates that the application server's status has changed from the operating mode to a stand-by mode. The handling server accordingly does not schedule any new tasks to the application server when in it is in the stand-by mode. The application server processes all already scheduled tasks and outputs results for the scheduled tasks to the handling server while it is in the stand-by mode.
