Abstract: A separate, central server operating in a system including one or more database server machines and a graphical user interface displayed on a user's computer is disclosed and provides a technological improvement. In one example, computer-readable instructions are stored in computer memory on this shutdown control server. A user, such as a database administrator, may access the shutdown control server to initiate the shutdown, reboot, and/or restart of database services on one or more separate database servers. At least one advantage of such an arrangement is that the shutdown control server provides plug-and-play capabilities that may allow one or more database servers of one or more different database types to concurrently connect to the shutdown control server.

Abstract: A disaster recovery tool includes a server monitoring engine, a configuration engine, a security engine, and a runtime engine. The server monitoring engine detects a production server and determines that a disaster recovery server should be created for the production server. The configuration engine compares database configuration files for the production server and the disaster recovery server and copies the database configuration file for the production server to the disaster recovery server. The security engine compares user logins and file sharing credentials of the production server and the disaster recovery server and copies the user login and file sharing credential of the production server to the disaster recovery server. The runtime engine compares database jobs and schedules of the production server and the disaster recovery server and copies the database job and schedule of the production server to the disaster recovery server.
