  • Publication number: 20230030546
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining, at an operator executed on a server that is separate from an application, whether to perform an update of the application. The operator may perform an upgrade precheck when it is determined that the update to the application is to be performed. The precheck may include determining whether a database migration is to be performed as part of the update to the application, and receiving an update mode and an update type to determine the upgrade to the application. The operator may provide to the application via an application program interface (API), one or more application shutdown configuration parameters for the update based on the received update mode and update type of the upgrade precheck. The operator may deploy the update to the application based on the determined update mode and update type.

  • Publication number: 20210281097
    Abstract: A method and a device for charging electric energy stores are described. At least two electric energy stores to be charged are connected to in each case one charger. The electric energy stores are charged with in each case one charging power assigned to the respective charger. The charging powers are subjected to closed-loop control, wherein the instantaneous charging powers of each charger are determined and added to give an instantaneous total charging power. After a comparison of the instantaneous total charging power with a predefined upper charging power limit, at least one of the charging powers assigned to the respective chargers is reduced if the instantaneous total charging power is greater than the upper charging power limit.
