Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present application without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, an application scenario schematic diagram of a method for scheduling license resources provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a license server, a license resource scheduling server, and a terminal device; the terminal device is provided with a license resource agent, the license resource scheduling server is a uniform access interface of the license resources, the terminal device can send a license resource request to the license resource scheduling server through an address (such as an address 17000@10.225.21.180 in fig. 1) corresponding to the license resource scheduling server, the license resource scheduling server performs uniform scheduling distribution based on the received license resource request, and the license resource scheduling server provides the most appropriate license resources according to the distribution condition of the license resources and the load condition of the internally registered license servers.

The address information of the license server is registered in the license resource scheduling server in advance, and the license resource scheduling server can monitor the states, loads and available conditions of the license servers in real time and allocate and schedule resources according to resource allocation rules set by management departments.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for scheduling license resources, which is applied to a scheduling server, and includes:

s101, receiving a license resource request sent by at least one terminal device; the license resource request carries first resource information describing license resources required by the user.

In this embodiment of the application, the license resource is specifically a serial number of a license, and the first resource information may be a type, a number, a use duration, and the like of the license resource.

S102, for the license resource request sent by each terminal device, according to the first resource information carried by the license resource request, the comparison relation table of the preset resource information and the license server address and the preset resource scheduling policy, selecting a first target license resource server address from at least one license server address capable of providing the license resource described by the first resource information.

In the embodiment of the present application, a license server address and a comparison relation table between the license server address and preset resource information are stored in a license resource scheduling server in advance, where the preset resource information is used to describe license resources that can be provided by the license server address. The license server Address here may include an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) and a port of the license server.

For the license resource request from each terminal device, the scheduling server searches preset resource information which can meet first resource information carried by the license resource request, then searches a license server address corresponding to the preset resource information according to a comparison table, wherein the searched license server address can provide the license resource described by the first resource information, and then the scheduling server selects one license resource server address from the searched license server addresses as a first target license resource server address.

Here, there are many selection strategies for selecting the first target license resource server address from the searched license server addresses, such as: a local priority policy, such as a shard priority policy, a daily significant item priority policy, such as a proportional share policy, and the like.

S103, sending the selected first target license resource server address to the corresponding terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment can acquire license resources based on the first target license resource server address.

Here, after the scheduling server transmits the first target license resource server address to the terminal device, the terminal device acquires the license resource required by the user from the first target license resource server corresponding to the address based on the first target license resource server address.

The license resource scheduling method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to a scheduling server, and the scheduling server unifies license resources into a shared resource pool and shares the license resources to a plurality of users for simultaneous use. After receiving a license resource request sent by a terminal device, a scheduling server selects a first target license resource server address from at least one license server address which can currently provide the license resource described by the license resource request in a resource pool and returns the first target license resource server address to the corresponding terminal device, so that the terminal device searches the required license resource from the first target license resource server address.

In order to implement sharing of address resources of a license server, in the embodiment of the present application, scheduling of license resources is implemented based on a resource quota management policy, and the specific scheme is as follows: for each type of license resource, based on the characteristics of the type of license resource, the using quantity and using duration of the type of license resource are set for each user, and the maximum number of the license resources requested by the user in a single time can also be set. In addition, in order to ensure the normal operation of the license server, the maximum number of users who use the license resources simultaneously and the total use duration of the license resources can be preset in consideration of the load condition of the license server, and the license request exceeding the set quota is set to be rejected. Wherein, the user includes but is not limited to one or more of the following: individual users, departments, and projects.

As shown in fig. 3, in the method for scheduling license resources provided in the embodiment of the present application, the license resource request further carries user information; the preset resource scheduling policy comprises a resource quota management policy; before the step 102 of selecting the first target license resource server address from at least one license server address capable of currently providing the license resource described by the first resource information, the method further includes:

s201, comparing first resource information in the license resource request with preset resource information corresponding to user information in the license resource request for the license resource request sent by each terminal device.

Here, the resource scheduling server is preconfigured with preset resource information corresponding to each piece of user information, where the preset resource information corresponding to different types of user information is different, and the different types of user information include: individual users, department users, project users, and the like. In general, the configured quantity and the configured duration of the resource information are sequentially project users, department users and individual users from large to small. Specifically, for example, the number of the individual user license resources used is 5, the usage duration is 1 month, and the maximum number of the individual user license resources requested at a time is 5; the number of the used license resources of the department users is 20, the using time is 2 months, and the maximum number of the license resources requested by the individual users at a time is 20.

S202, if the first resource information meets the preset resource information corresponding to the user information, a step of selecting a first target license resource server address from at least one license server address capable of providing the license resource described by the first resource information currently is executed.

Here, if the first resource information does not satisfy the preset resource information corresponding to the user information, for example, the type of the license resource in the first resource information does not conform to the type of the license resource in the preset resource information corresponding to the user information, or the number of the used license resources in the first resource information exceeds the number of the license resources configured in advance by the user information, the scheduling server will return prompt information requesting for non-legality to the corresponding terminal device.

In order to avoid a situation that a license resource is completely occupied by a certain user, department, or project and others cannot obtain the license resource, a resource fair sharing scheduling policy may be adopted, as shown in fig. 4, in the license resource scheduling method provided in this embodiment of the present application, step 101, after receiving a license resource request sent by at least one terminal device, further includes:

s301, if license resource requests sent by a plurality of terminal devices are received within a preset time length, determining sharing priority information of the terminal device corresponding to each user information according to the sharing level information corresponding to the user information in the license resource requests sent by each terminal device and the use information of the license resources.

In this embodiment of the present application, the scheduling server sets sharing level information (the sharing level information is specifically a fair share value) in advance for users of different types, where the fair share value set by an individual user, a department user, or a project user is, for example, "user 1 is 10: user2 ═ 25: when the user3 is equal to 50 ", and the scheduling server receives multiple license resource requests from different terminal devices within a preset time length, the scheduling server determines, according to the usage of the license resource corresponding to the current user sending the license resource request and the configured fair share value, the shared priority information for responding to the requests, where responding specifically is to allocate the priority of the license server address to the license resource request.

One specific implementation of sharing priority information may be as follows: dividing the number or duration of the occupied license resources of the user information by the fair share value corresponding to the user information of the license resource request to obtain the sharing priority value of the terminal equipment corresponding to each user information.

S302, responding to the license resource requests sent by the plurality of terminal devices in sequence according to the descending order of the sharing priority information corresponding to the plurality of terminal devices.

In this embodiment of the present application, the sharing priority values of the terminal devices corresponding to each piece of user information obtained in step 301 are sorted in descending order, and the license resource requests sent by the multiple terminal devices are sequentially responded according to the sorting result, that is, license server addresses are sequentially preferentially allocated to the license resource requests according to the sorting result.

The larger the sharing priority value of the user is, the higher the corresponding priority is, and the more preferentially the license resource is allocated.

In the process of using the license resources, the terminal device on the user side is to maintain network link or communication heartbeat with the license server, and network interruption directly causes application operation failure on the terminal device on the user side. Therefore, the stability of the network between the terminal device and the license server needs to be fully considered, in this embodiment of the present application, the preset resource scheduling policy further includes a network priority scheduling policy, and the step 102 may further select the first target license resource server address based on the network priority scheduling policy (that is, the policy of local priority allocation), as shown in fig. 5, in the step 102, according to the first resource information carried in the license resource request and the comparison relationship table between the preset resource information and the license server address, the first target license resource server address is selected from at least one license server address that can currently provide the license resource described by the first resource information, and the method includes:

s401, according to the first resource information carried by the license resource request and a comparison relation table of preset resource information and license server addresses, at least one license server address capable of providing the license resources described by the first resource information at present is searched from prestored license server addresses.

For a license resource request from any terminal device, the scheduling server searches for at least one preset resource information which can meet first resource information carried by the license resource request, and then the scheduling server searches for at least one license server address corresponding to the at least one preset resource information according to a comparison table, wherein the searched license server address can provide the license resource described by the first resource information.

S402, according to the network segment information of the at least one license server address and the target network segment information of the terminal device corresponding to the license resource request, selecting the license server address in the target network segment information from the at least one license server address as the first target license resource server address.

In some large-scale practical scenes, user side terminal equipment and license servers are often distributed in a plurality of regions and network segments, network perception is needed in the scheduling distribution of license resources, the scheduling server automatically identifies the network segments where the user terminals and the license servers are located, and license server resources in the same network segment or region as the requesting terminal are preferentially distributed on the premise that the resource requests are met.

In the embodiment of the application, for any license resource request, the scheduling server determines the target network segment information of the terminal device corresponding to the license resource request according to the source IP address carried by the license resource request and the preset comparison table of the IP address and the network segment. And for the license server address searched based on any license resource request, the scheduling server determines the network segment information of the license server site according to the license server address and a preset comparison table of the IP address and the network segment, and then the scheduling server searches the license server address in the target network segment information based on the network segment information of at least one license server site.

And if the scheduling server finds the address of the license server in the target network segment information based on the network segment information of the location of at least one license server, taking the found address of the license server as the address of the first target license resource server.

If the scheduling server does not find the license server address in the target network segment information based on the network segment information where at least one license server is located, one first target license resource server address can be randomly selected, and the first target license resource server address can also be selected based on other strategies such as the following fragment priority and the major project priority.

Due to the history of company procurement, the same license resource is often stored in a plurality of license servers, and integration is difficult in a short time. Thus, in the scheduling and allocating process, the number of the remaining license resources on each license server is different, and therefore, as shown in fig. 6, in this embodiment of the application, in step 102, a first target license resource server address may be selected based on a fragment-first scheduling policy, and in step 102, according to first resource information carried in the license resource request and a comparison relationship table between preset resource information and license server addresses, a first target license resource server address is selected from at least one license server address that can currently provide the license resource described by the first resource information, which includes:

s501, according to the first resource information carried by the license resource request and a comparison relation table of preset resource information and license server addresses, at least one license server address capable of providing the license resources described by the first resource information at present is searched from prestored license server addresses.

S502, according to the use information of the license resources described by the first resource information in the at least one license server address, selecting the license server address with the least number of the remaining license resources from the at least one license server address as the first target license resource server address.

In the embodiment of the application, the scheduling policy for fragment priority allocation can preferentially use the license resources on the license server with a small residual quantity under the same condition that the number of the license resources required by the user can be met, so that the number of the license resource fragments is reduced as much as possible, and the license server with a large number of license resources is reserved for other users with large-batch license resource request requirements.

In this embodiment of the present application, the preset resource scheduling policy further includes a resource merged use scheduling policy, and the step 102 may select the first target license resource server address based on the resource merged use scheduling policy, as shown in fig. 7, in the license resource scheduling method provided in this embodiment of the present application, after receiving the license resource request sent by at least one terminal device in step S101, the method further includes:

s601, if at least one license server address capable of providing the license resources described by the first resource information currently does not exist in the prestored license server addresses, determining a plurality of license server addresses which currently store the license resources described by the first resource information and exist unused license resources according to the first resource information carried by the license resource request and a comparison relation table between preset resource information and the license server addresses.

For a license resource request from any terminal device, if the pre-stored license server address does not have a license server address capable of satisfying the first resource information, the scheduling server searches for a plurality of preset resource information in which the first resource information carried by the license resource request is stored, and then the scheduling server searches for a plurality of license server addresses corresponding to the plurality of preset resource information according to a comparison table, where each searched license server address corresponds to a type of license resource in which the first resource information describes is stored, but the available number is not enough to satisfy the number described by the first resource information.

S602, sending the plurality of license server addresses and the residual resource quantity of the license resources described by the first resource information in the plurality of license server addresses to the terminal equipment corresponding to the license resource request.

In this embodiment of the application, the scheduling server selects multiple license server addresses capable of satisfying the first resource information from the multiple license server addresses found in step 601, and then sends the multiple license server addresses and the remaining resource quantity of the license resources described in the multiple license server addresses corresponding to the first resource information to the terminal device corresponding to the license resource request, so that the terminal device can send the license resource requests to the addresses according to the returned result, where the quantity included in the first resource information carried in the license resource request sent by the terminal device is equal to the quantity of the same type of license resources in the corresponding license server addresses.

Here, a large application needs a large amount of license resources at startup, and often no license server has enough resources for its use at that time, and the startup fails. In this case, the license resource scheduling server can return addresses and ports of a plurality of license servers to the application according to the distribution of the currently required license resources, such as: 1700@ hostA:3200@ hostB:1900@ hostC, thereby ensuring that the application can be successfully launched.

Further, the preset resource scheduling policy also includes a priority preemption scheduling policy; in this embodiment of the present application, in step 102, the first target license resource server address may be selected based on a priority preemption scheduling policy of a license resource, and as shown in fig. 8, after receiving a license resource request sent by at least one terminal device in step S101, the method further includes:

s701, if at least one license server address which can provide the license resources described by the first resource information currently does not exist in the prestored license server addresses, searching at least one occupied license server address which can provide the license resources described by the first resource information from the prestored license server addresses.

S702, comparing the level information of the occupied user information of the at least one license server address with the level information of the user information carried by the license resource request.

S703, releasing the license server address occupied by the user information, wherein the level information is lower than the user information.

In the embodiment of the present application, in combination with steps 701 to 703, in order to ensure that some emergency projects can immediately obtain required license resources, a priority preemption scheduling policy for the license resources may be adopted, and when a high-priority user or project requests a license, if there is not enough license at that time, the license gateway automatically interrupts the license connection of a low-priority user or project, and releases the license for the high-priority user or project.

In an actual use environment, some license resources are purchased by a certain department, and users of the department need to take out part of the license resources to share the license resources with other departments on the premise of ensuring that own business is not influenced. For this situation, the scheduling server may configure the reserved resource amount for the license server, and only take out the licenses except for the reserved resource amount to participate in scheduling, and share the licenses for other users. As shown in fig. 9, the step S102 of selecting a first target license resource server address from at least one license server address capable of currently providing the license resource described by the first resource information includes:

s801, searching a second target license resource server address corresponding to the user information from the prestored license server address according to the user information carried by the license resource request and a preset comparison relation table of the user information and the license server address.

In the embodiment of the application, a comparison relation table of user information and a license server address special for the user information is stored in a scheduling server in advance, and after a license resource request is received, whether the user information carried by the license resource request has a special second target license resource server address is judged.

S802, if the second target license resource server address can provide the license resource described by the first resource information, the second target license resource server address is used as the first target license resource server address.

Here, if the scheduling server determines that the user information carried in the license resource request has a dedicated second target license resource server address, the scheduling server further determines whether the second target license resource server address can provide the license resource described by the first resource information in the license resource request, and if so, the second target license resource server address is used as the first target license resource server address.

And S803, if the second target license resource server address cannot meet the license resource described by the first resource information, determining third resource information of the license resource according to second resource information, corresponding to the license resource described by the first resource information, in the second target license resource server address and the first resource information of the license resource required by the user.
