Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

A first embodiment of the present application provides a system for managing computing applications across geographic areas, the system comprising a centralized management unit and 3 area data units connected thereto, the 3 area data units being an area data unit 1, an area data unit 2, and an area data unit 3, respectively.

Fig. 1 shows an application schematic diagram of a system for managing computing applications across geographic areas, where applications of cloud computing services are respectively deployed in three areas, that is, a computing application of an area 1, a computing application of an area 2, and a computing application of an area 3, and each area is further respectively deployed with an area data unit in the system for managing computing applications across geographic areas, that is, an area data unit 1 of the area 1, an area data unit 2 of the area 2, and an area data unit 3 of the area 3. The centralized management unit may be deployed in any one area and may even be deployed elsewhere than in the 3 areas.

The centralized management unit is respectively connected with the area data units (area data unit 1, area data unit 2 and area data unit 3) of the 3 areas, and simultaneously is respectively connected with the calculation applications of the 3 areas through set interfaces. The 3 data units are also connected with the computing application of the region to which the data units belong through a set interface. In addition, the 3 area data units are also connected with each other.

The units may be implemented by hardware, software or a combination of hardware and software, and the connections between the units and to the computing application may be in any form capable of transmitting information and data.

The centralized management unit can be used for managing a plurality of (in this document, a plurality means more than two) regional computing applications and operating data required by the computing applications stored in the regional data units of the plurality of regions. The operations include adding, modifying, deleting, reading, and the like.

The area data units (area data unit 1, area data unit 2 and area data unit 3) of each area are used for updating data required by the computing application (also used for storing and synchronizing the data) and executing data operation performed on the data by the centralized management unit and the computing application of each area. The operations include adding, modifying, deleting, reading, and the like. The middleware is used for updating the parameter configuration information of the data required by the computing application of the area data management unit according to the updating request of the data required by the computing application of the area data management unit. The middleware may be a separate system software or service, by which the distributed application can share resources and exchange information between different technologies. The middleware has standard programming interfaces and protocols. There may be multiple implementations that conform to the interface and protocol specifications for different operating systems and hardware platforms. The parameter configuration information may include attribute information such as an IP, a user name, and a password of a database where the data is located. The middleware can also be used for persisting parameter configuration information of data required by the computing application of the regional data management unit where the middleware is located

Specifically, the area data unit of each area is configured to execute a computing application of a corresponding geographic area, update data required by the computing application of the geographic area, and send a corresponding data update request to a pre-specified area data unit when a data update request for updating data required by the computing application is acquired, perform corresponding data synchronization according to a data synchronization request of the pre-specified area data unit, and before or during the data synchronization, may also synchronize parameter configuration information of the data required by the computing application through middleware; or when a data updating request for updating the data required by the computing application is acquired as a pre-specified data unit, the data is updated, a data synchronization request is sent to the corresponding area data unit, and the parameter configuration information of the data required by the computing application is updated through the middleware.

The parameter configuration information of the data can be updated through the middleware before the updating of all data among different area data units is completed. Because the data volume of all the service data is large, longer time and expense are needed for completing all data updating or synchronization, while the data volume of the parameter configuration information is small, the time needed for updating is short, the synchronization is fast, and the expense is small; when a user accesses the system across the geographic area, the user can only access the content of the parameter configuration information data, and the parameter configuration information is updated through the middleware, so that the user can access the system in time. Of course, in other specific examples, the middleware may not be provided, and only the function of updating all the service data is provided, and at this time, the user needs to complete the service data updating or complete the synchronization so as to access the service data. The person skilled in the art can decide whether middleware needs to be provided according to actual needs.

In practical applications, any one of the area data units may be pre-designated as a pre-designated area data unit according to needs.

For example, in the case where the area data unit 1 of the area 1 is a pre-specified area data unit, when the area data unit 2 of the area 2 acquires an update request for updating (e.g., modifying, adding, deleting, or the like) certain data required by the computing application (e.g., configuration parameters of the computing application that a certain user has in the area 2) through connection with the centralized management unit, the data required by the computing application stored by the user is not updated, but a request for updating the data is sent to the area data unit 1 of the area 1 through connection with the area data unit 1 of the area 1. And then, according to the data synchronization request of the area data unit 1 of the area 1, updating the configuration parameters of the computing application which the user has in the area 2 and is stored in the area database 1 synchronously.

In the case where the area data unit 1 of the area 1 is a pre-designated area data unit, when it acquires a data update request for updating the configuration parameters of the computing application that the user has in the area 2 through connection with the central management unit, or when a data update request for updating the configuration parameters of the computing application that the user has in area 2 is acquired through connection with another data unit, firstly, updating the configuration parameters of the computing application which the user has in the area 2, which are stored by the user, and then sending a data synchronization request for synchronizing the configuration parameters of the computing application of the user to the area data unit 2 and the area data unit 3, and requesting the two area data units to update the configuration parameters of the computing application which the user has in the area 2, which are stored by the two area data units.

For the case that the area data unit 1 sends a data synchronization request to the area data unit 3 of the area 3, after receiving the data synchronization request, the area data unit 3 synchronizes the configuration parameters of the computing application which the user has in the area 2 and is stored in the area data unit according to the request.

By adopting the method for updating the data required by the synchronous computing application, the data required by the same computing application can be ensured to be stored in each area, the flow is simple and clear, and the function of avoiding data inconsistency can be achieved.

As an optional manner of this embodiment, the regional data unit in this embodiment may include a regional common service subunit and a corresponding regional database subunit connected thereto.

The regional public service subunit is connected with the centralized management unit and is connected with the computing application of the region to which the regional public service subunit belongs through a set interface; the regional database subunit and the regional public service subunit are respectively connected with a pre-designated regional data unit;

and the regional public service subunit is used for managing data operation of the centralized management unit or the computing application on the regional database subunit of the region to which the centralized management unit or the computing application belongs.

The regional public service subunit is used as a non-pre-designated data unit and can also send a data updating request to a pre-designated regional data unit according to the data updating request when acquiring the data updating request for updating the data required by the computing application.

The regional database subunit is used for storing data required by computing application; and executing the operation of the regional public service subunit of the region to which the regional public service subunit belongs. The regional database subunit executes the operation of the regional public service subunit of the region to which the regional database subunit belongs, and can also perform data synchronization after receiving a data synchronization request sent by a pre-specified data unit.

Correspondingly, the centralized management unit is specifically configured to operate, by the regional public service subunit, data required by the computing application stored in the corresponding regional database subunit.

For example, in the case where the area data unit 1 is a pre-designated data unit, the area data unit 2 of the area 2 may include an area common service subunit 2 and an area database subunit 2 connected thereto. Similar to the regional data unit 2, the regional data unit 3 may also include a regional common services subunit 3 and its corresponding regional database subunit 3. The area data unit 2 will be described as an example.

The regional public service subunit 2 is connected with the centralized management unit and the computing application of the region 2; the regional database subunit 2 and the regional public service subunit 2 are respectively connected with a regional data unit 1.

And the regional public service subunit 2 is used for managing data operation of the centralized management unit or the computing application of the region 2 on the regional database subunit 2 of the region 2. When a data update request for updating certain data required by the computing application is acquired, the data update request can be sent to the data unit 1 according to the data update request

The regional database subunit 2 is used for storing data required by computing application; the operations performed thereon by the regional common services subunit of region 2 are performed. It is also possible to perform data synchronization after receiving a data synchronization request of the data unit 1.

The centralized management unit is configured to manage computing applications of a plurality of areas, and when operating data required by the computing applications stored in the area data unit, the centralized management unit is specifically configured to operate data required by the computing applications stored in the area database subunit 2 of the area 2 through the area public service subunit 2. And the system is specifically used for operating data required by the computing application stored by the regional database subunit 3 of the region 3 through the regional public service subunit 3.

The regional data unit is divided into the regional public service subunit and the regional database subunit, so that the service logic is clearer, the function division is more clear, the subsequent addition and expansion of other functions are facilitated, the maintenance is facilitated, and the operation cost is reduced.

Similarly, as another optional manner of this embodiment, the pre-specified data unit may include: the system comprises a preassigned regional public service subunit and a corresponding regional database subunit connected with the same. The pre-designated regional public service subunit is provided with an interface connected with the computing application of the region to which the pre-designated regional public service subunit belongs.

The preassigned regional public service subunit is connected with the centralized management unit; the pre-designated regional public service subunit and other regional data units are in data connection; the regional database subunit corresponding to the pre-designated regional public service subunit is in data connection with other regional data units; the pre-designated regional public service subunit has a data connection with the computing application of the region to which the pre-designated regional public service subunit belongs.

The preassigned regional public service subunit is used for managing data operation of the centralized management unit or the computing application on the corresponding regional database subunit;

the regional database subunit corresponding to the pre-designated regional public service subunit is used for storing data required by the computing application; executing the operation of the pre-designated regional public service subunit;

correspondingly, the centralized management unit is used for managing the computing applications of the plurality of areas and operating the data required by the computing applications stored in the area data unit, and comprises the step of operating the data required by the computing applications stored in the corresponding area database subunit through a pre-specified area public service subunit.

For example, in the case that the regional data unit 1 is a pre-designated data unit, the regional data unit 1 may include a pre-designated regional common service subunit 1 and its corresponding regional database subunit 1 connected thereto.

The preassigned regional public service subunit 1 is connected with the centralized management unit and the computing application of the region 1; the regional database subunit 1 and the regional public service subunit 1 are connected with the regional data unit 2 of the region 2 and the regional data unit 3 of the region 3, respectively.

The pre-designated regional public service subunit 2 is used for managing data operation of the centralized management unit or the computing application of the region 1 on the regional database subunit 1 of the region 1.

As a pre-designated regional public service subunit, the pre-designated regional public service subunit 2 can also send a database update request to the regional database subunit 1 according to a data update request after acquiring the data update request for updating certain data required by the computing application.

The regional database subunit 1 is used for storing data required by computing application; the operation of the pre-designated regional public service subunit 1 is performed. It is also possible to send a data synchronization request to the respective other zone data unit, such as data unit 2 or data unit 3, after the data update.

Correspondingly, the centralized management unit is used for managing the computing applications of the plurality of areas and operating the data required by the computing applications stored in the area data unit, and specifically is used for operating the data required by the computing applications stored in the corresponding area database subunit through a pre-specified area public service subunit.

Similarly, the preassigned regional data unit is divided into the preassigned regional public service subunit and the regional database subunit, so that the service logic is clearer, the function division is more definite, the subsequent addition and expansion of other functions are facilitated, the maintenance is facilitated, and the operation cost is reduced.

A second embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing data required by a computing application across geographic areas, a flowchart of which is shown in fig. 2, and an application scenario of which may refer to fig. 1, where in a case where an area data unit 1 is a pre-specified area data unit, an area data unit 2 is a local data unit. The method provided by the embodiment comprises the following operations:

at block 201, a local data unit obtains a data update request for updating data required by a computing application.

As shown in fig. 1, the area data unit 2 of the area 2 is used as a local data unit, and a data update request for updating data required by the computing application is acquired from a centralized management unit or an area service application of the area 2.

The data update request may include an operation request to modify, delete, or add data to or from a computing application.

When the local data unit includes the local public service subunit and the local database subunit, that is, the regional data unit 2 includes the regional public service subunit 2 and the regional database subunit 2, the data update request is acquired by the regional public service subunit 2.

The local data unit sends the data update request to the pre-specified regional data unit, block 202.

After acquiring the data update request, the area data unit 2 serves as a local data unit to send the data update request to the area data unit 1.

When the local data unit includes the local public service subunit and the local database subunit, that is, the regional data unit 2 includes the regional public service subunit 2 and the regional database subunit 2, the regional public service subunit 2 transmits the data update request to the regional data unit 1.

For more detailed description, reference may be made to the related description in the first embodiment of the present application, which is not repeated herein.

At block 203, the pre-designated area data unit updates the data required by the computing application according to the data update request.

As a pre-timed area data unit, the area data unit 1 updates the corresponding data required by the computing application stored therein after receiving the data update request.

The regional data unit 1 may also include a regional common services subunit 1 and a regional database subunit 1, similar to the regional data unit 2.

In this case, the regional public service subunit 1 receives the data update request and sends a database update request to the regional database subunit 1, and after receiving the database update request, the regional database subunit 1 updates the data required by the corresponding computing application stored therein according to the database update request.

At block 204, the pre-designated region data unit sends a data synchronization request to synchronize data required by the computing application to the region data unit including the local data unit.

After the area data unit 1 updates the data required by the corresponding computing application stored in the area data unit, a data synchronization request for synchronizing the data required by the computing application to the area data unit 2 is sent to the area data unit 2, and the data synchronization request requests the area data unit to synchronize the data. The data synchronization request may also be sent to other area data units (e.g. area data unit 3) to request their synchronization data.

When the regional data unit 1 includes the regional common service subunit 1 and the regional database subunit 1, the data synchronization request is transmitted to the regional data unit 2 and the regional data 3 by the regional database subunit 1.

When the regional data unit 2 includes the regional common service subunit 2 and the regional database subunit 2, the regional data unit 1 transmits the data synchronization request to the regional database subunit 2.

When the regional data unit 3 includes the regional common service subunit 3 and the regional database subunit 3, the regional data unit 1 transmits the data synchronization request to the regional database subunit 3.

At block 205, the region data unit, including the local data unit, synchronizes data required by the computing application according to the data synchronization request.

After the area data unit 2 serving as a local data unit receives the data synchronization request sent by the area data unit 1, the data is synchronized from the area data unit 1 according to the request, so that the data required by the corresponding computing application stored by the local data unit is updated.

When the local data unit includes the local public service subunit and the local database subunit, i.e. the regional data unit 2 includes the regional public service subunit 2 and the regional database subunit 2, the regional database subunit 2 receives the data synchronization request, and synchronizes the data required by the corresponding computing application from the regional data unit 1 according to the request.

In the case where the area data unit 1 also sends a data synchronization request to the area data unit 3, the area data unit 3 also updates its own stored data required by the corresponding computing application according to the data synchronization request.

Also, when the regional data unit 3 includes the regional common service subunit 3 and the regional database subunit 3, the regional database subunit 3 receives the data synchronization request and synchronizes the data required by the corresponding computing application according to the request.

The preassigned regional public service subunit of the preassigned regional data unit and the corresponding regional database subunit are used for respectively receiving the data updating request and sending the data synchronization request, so that the service logic is more detailed, the function division is more clear, the subsequent addition and expansion of other functions are facilitated, the maintenance is facilitated, and the operation cost is reduced.

Similarly, the local public service subunit and the local database subunit of the local data unit are used for respectively sending the data updating request and receiving the data synchronization request, so that the service logic is more detailed, the function division is more clear, the subsequent addition and expansion of other functions are facilitated, the maintenance is facilitated, and the operation cost is reduced.

A flowchart of the method for calculating data required by an application in a cross-geographic-region operation is shown in fig. 3, and an application scenario thereof can refer to fig. 1, which is described below with reference to an example from the perspective of a region data unit 2 of a region 2 when the region data unit 1 in fig. 1 is a pre-specified region data unit, where the method provided in this embodiment includes the following operations:

In the case where the area data unit 1 is a pre-designated area data unit, the data update request is transmitted to the area data unit 1.

When the regional data unit 2 includes the regional common service subunit 2 and the corresponding regional database subunit 2, the regional common service subunit 2 sends the data update request to the regional data unit 1.

And when the pre-designated regional data unit 1 comprises the pre-designated regional public service subunit 1 and the corresponding regional database subunit 1, sending the data updating request to the regional public service subunit 1.

The present operation receives a data synchronization request transmitted from the area data unit 1 designated in advance. When the regional data unit 2 includes the regional common service subunit 2 and the regional database subunit 2 corresponding to the regional common service subunit 2, the regional database subunit 2 corresponding to the regional common service subunit 2 receives the data synchronization request sent by the regional data unit 1.
