Abstract: Account data comprising metadata for primary application instances running at a primary active cloud environment instance (ACEI) is stored. Application data associated with the primary application instances is stored at primary databases (DBs). The account and application data are transferred to secondary DBs at a secondary ACEI. The secondary ACEI may be a backup instance to substitute services provided by the primary ACEI in case of unavailability. For example, the location where the primary ACEI is hosted may be affected by a disaster. To failover a primary data center hosting the primary ACEI, a database takeover to the secondary DBs is performed. The secondary ACEI is configured correspondingly to the primary ACEI based on the transferred account data. Secondary application instances corresponding to the primary application instances are started at the secondary ACEI. Requests directed to the primary application instances are redirected to the secondary application instances.

Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a system and associated method to provide application-centric resource management of a plurality of functional units in an enterprise environment is disclosed. The system, in an exemplary embodiment, comprises a deploy service module to determine whether one or more of the plurality of functional units within the enterprise environment is added or removed, an information model repository to provide information related to the plurality of functional units, a functional unit container to store a listing of resource services related to the plurality of functional units, and a managed resources container to associate each of the plurality of functional units with one or more development components in the enterprise environment. A user-interface is configured to display non-technical management information relating to each of the plurality of functional units.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracing operations in multiple computer systems. An embodiment of a method includes running a computer application, where the computer application operates on multiple computer systems, including a first system and a second system. The first system and the second system have different computer environments. A trace of the computer application is performed, with performance of the trace including enabling a first trace of the first system and enabling a second trace of the second system. Trace data is collected from the first system and the second system during the operation of the application, and the trace data from the first system and the trace data from the second system are combined.
