Abstract: A method and system are provided for performing an activity. Accordingly, an activity to be performed is determined, a stored hierarchy is examined indicating a first alternate component for performing the activity first and a second alternate component for performing the activity if the first alternate component fails. The first alternate component is invoked to perform the activity, and when a failure of the first alternate component to perform the activity is detected, the second alternate component is invoked to perform the activity. A revised hierarchy is stored indicating that the second alternate component is to be invoked to perform the activity before the first alternate component is invoked to perform the activity.

Abstract: A client management system receives from an operator, through a dedicated workspace, an operator request to retrieve, transmit, store, generate and/or process specified data. The client management system analyzes the operator request and generates a job profile specifying one or more activities to be performed in accordance with the operator request. A job profile may also include a job schedule specifying when the one or more activities are to be performed. The client management system identifies one or more components to perform each specified activity. The components may be pre-compiled software components, for example. Subsequently, the client management system causes each specified activity to be performed in accordance with the job profile. A request for a job may also be generated automatically, and the job may be generated and executed automatically, by one or more components within the client management system.
