  • Patent number: 10614095
    Abstract: A method and systems for monitoring changes for a server system are disclosed. The server system is operated on a first hardware system. Data is duplicated from the server system, and the data duplicated from the server system is transferred from the first hardware system on which the server system is operated, to a second hardware system separate from the first hardware system. The duplicated data is then processed on the second hardware system to determine a change for the server system. Present duplicated data transferred to the second hardware system may be compared to hosted data on the second hardware system, such as data previously duplicated from the server system. The server system may be a database server system.

  • Patent number: 10606823
    Abstract: A method and systems for monitoring changes for a server system are disclosed. All data contents, for a first time point, of a dataset of the server system are obtained, and all data contents for a second time point of the dataset are also obtained. The first time point contents of the dataset are compared with the second time point contents of the dataset. The comparison is then used to determine a change for the server system between the first and second time points. The first time point contents of the dataset may be stored and, following the steps of comparing and using the comparison, a record of the change determined may be stored, and the stored first time point contents of the dataset discarded.

    Abstract: A method and systems for monitoring changes for a server system are disclosed. Data are obtained from the server system, and the data are processed to determine a first change for the server system. A record of the first determined change is stored. The first determined change is then compared to a second determined change for the server system, and the comparison is used 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 the stored record of the previously determined change to the current change.
