Abstract: A system for updating data content including one or more computer data processors programmed and configured to generate one or more instances of data programming objects, each instance of a data programming object representing a data record and properties of the data record, at least one property corresponding to a scheduled change in the data record. The system includes an object monitor to which one or more status updates of the one or more instances of data programming objects are transmitted to, the status updates including the property corresponding to the time of the scheduled change in the data record.

Abstract: A system for host-level distributed scheduling of a software installation in a distributed computer environment is disclosed. An information handling system includes an out-of-band processor operable to communicatively connect to a second information handling system via a network. The information handling system is configured to: retrieve an identifier indicative of a software installation consequent to a software installation request being invoked; download a software installation package via the network, where the software installation package includes a payload; store the payload in an image repository; schedule the software installation to occur based, at least in part, on the identifier and a timing parameter; store software installation information in a nonvolatile memory medium; and perform the software installation according to the scheduling. The scheduling and the performing of the software installation is without dependency on communicative connection to the network.
