All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Usually, a publisher of an application (hereinafter, referred to as a publisher) updates the function of the application according to an actual operation requirement. For example, taking the personnel management application as an example, the personnel management application provides various announcement information, such as personnel exemption information, recruitment information, employee evaluation information, group construction activity information, and the like, to the employees of the enterprise during the operation process, and the announcement information has the characteristic of frequent change. That is, the publisher will update the function of the human resource management application program timely according to the requirement of the enterprise, that is, add, delete or modify the function of the human resource management application program. When a function of an application needs to be updated, a configuration related to the update function needs to be updated. The updating the configuration of the application program may specifically be: the contents of the configuration items (i.e., configuration values) of the application are updated. The configuration item may refer to a parameter that needs to be configured to implement a certain function, where the parameter may refer to a software system parameter and a hardware parameter; one configuration item may correspond to one or more functional items of an application, and each application may include a plurality of configuration items. The updating process of the content of the configuration item of the application program roughly comprises two stages: (1) obtaining the update content of the configuration item of the application program; (2) and updating the configuration items of the application program. The above stages will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1.

Referring to the architecture for configuration update shown in fig. 1, the architecture may include a configuration server, a plurality of application servers connected to the configuration server; wherein:

the application server may be installed with an application program for providing a service corresponding to the application program for a user group, for example, taking a personnel management application program as an example, the application program may provide a service related to personnel management for the user group, such as providing a service for querying personnel file information, a service for publishing enterprise announcement information, and the like. The user group can comprise individual users or/and enterprise users who purchase or subscribe to the service corresponding to the application program. Typically, an application may be installed in multiple application servers, different application servers may serve different user groups, and the multiple application servers may be deployed in the same region or in different regions. For example, the application servers for installing the application programs include a first application server and a second application server, the first application server is deployed in the area a, and the second application server is deployed in the area B. The first application server can be used for providing the service corresponding to the application program for the user group in the area A, and the second application server can be used for providing the service corresponding to the application program for the user group in the area B. In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the application is not limited, such as a purchase management application, a financial application, or a personnel management application.

The configuration server may be used to provide configuration services for applications installed in the application server. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the publisher may query the configuration server for details of configuration items of the application program, and modify the details of the configuration items. The detailed information of the configuration item may include a name of the configuration item, contents of the configuration item, modification time, a modifier, a version number of the configuration item, and the like. The configuration server obtains the updated content of the configuration item according to the modification operation of the publisher on the detailed information of the configuration item, and realizes cluster configuration or single machine configuration according to the updated content of the configuration item. The cluster configuration refers to updating the configuration items of the application programs of the plurality of application servers according to the updating content of the configuration items; for example, the application server for installing the application program comprises a first application server and a second application server, and the configuration server updates the configuration items of the application program of the first application server and the second application server according to the update content of the configuration items. The single machine configuration means updating the configuration items of the application programs of the single application server according to the updating content of the configuration items; for example, the application server for installing the application program comprises a first application server and a second application server, and the configuration server only updates the configuration item of the application program of the first application server according to the update content of the configuration item. In one embodiment, the configuration server may be further configured to set a baseline number for the configuration item, the baseline number may be used to identify a configuration set, and the configuration set may include one or more configuration items. The configuration server may synchronize the detailed information of the respective configuration items belonging to a certain baseline number into a plurality of application servers. Alternatively, upon failure of an application server configuration update, the configuration server may send a baseline number to the application server to cause the application server to roll back configuration items for the application to either version or baseline. The configuration server may be one server, a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers, or a cloud computing service center.

In one embodiment, the configuration server may include a service protocol layer, a basic logic layer, an auxiliary control layer, and a user interface layer, and the application server includes an intrusive client protocol layer, a configuration temporary storage layer, and an application service layer. The service protocol layer is used for interacting with the intrusive client protocol layer, for example, issuing detailed information (such as version number, content and baseline number) of configuration items to the intrusive client protocol layer, and receiving a configuration update result returned by the intrusive client protocol layer, and the like. The basic logic layer is used for acquiring the version number of the configuration item and storing the detailed information of the configuration item. The auxiliary control layer is used for checking the validity of the updated content of the configuration item and the like. The user interface layer may include a user interface, which may be an external user interface of the configuration server, or may be a user interface provided in the configuration server, that is, a user interface provided in the configuration server. The user interface can be used for checking the validity of the updating content of the configuration item, realizing man-machine interaction and the like. For example, the publisher, through the user interface layer, may modify, view, delete details of the configuration items. The protocol layer of the intrusive client can comprise an intrusive client which is used for interacting with the service protocol layer and updating the configuration items of the application program. The configuration temporary storage layer is used for storing the detailed information of the configuration items. The application service layer is used for loading the content of the configuration items so as to provide the service corresponding to the application program.

Based on the configuration update architecture shown in fig. 1, updating the configuration items of the application program can be implemented, and as shown in fig. 3, a specific process flow may include the following steps s1 to s 4:

s1, the publisher selects the target application to be configured on the user interface of the configuration server. For example, multiple applications may be included on the user interface, and the publisher may select any one of the applications as the target application.

s2, receiving a configuration instruction for the target application program, wherein the configuration instruction refers to an instruction for acquiring the updated content of the configuration item of the target application program, and the configuration instruction can be acquired through the user interface of the configuration server.

s3, responding to the configuration instruction, obtaining the updated content of the target configuration item. Specifically, step s3 may include steps s7-s 10; wherein, s7, in response to the configuration instruction, outputs at least one configuration item of the target application program, and receives a query instruction for the target configuration item, and the target configuration item may be any configuration item of the target application program. s8, responding to the query instruction, obtaining the detailed information of the target configuration item, wherein the detailed information of the target configuration item includes version number, baseline number, content, modification time, etc. s9, showing the detailed information of the target configuration item on the user interface, so that the publisher can modify the content of the target configuration item. s10, the configuration server can obtain the updated content of the target configuration item according to the modification operation of the publisher on the content of the target configuration item.

s4, generating a configuration update request according to the update content of the target configuration item, and sending the configuration update request to the application server to update the target configuration item of the application program of the application server. The application server herein may refer to an application server that installs a target application program; alternatively, the application server may refer to an application server that launches the target application program. For example, step s4 may include steps s5-s6, wherein s5, a heartbeat packet of the application service is obtained, which may be used to indicate whether the application server launches the target application program. s6, determining the application server for starting the target application program according to the heartbeat data packet of the application server, and sending the configuration updating request to the application server for starting the target application program.

The above s1-s3 refer to an update content obtaining phase of configuration items of an application program, and the update content of the configuration items in this phase may be obtained through a user interface of the configuration server, and optionally, the update content of the configuration items may also be obtained by the configuration server from other devices. Wherein, in this stage, in order to be able to subsequently and rapidly query the updated content of the target configuration item, the configuration server may further execute steps s 11-s 13. S11, adding the current version number of the target configuration item, and storing the current version number, where the current version number can be used to indicate the update content of the target configuration item. s12, the current baseline number of the newly added target configuration item, which can be used to indicate the updated content of the target configuration item and the configuration set in which the target configuration item is located. s13, storing the current baseline number. The above s4 refers to the stage of updating the configuration items of the application, in which the configuration server can implement standalone configuration or cluster configuration.

Based on the configuration update architecture shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a configuration update method, which is applied to a configuration server in the architecture shown in fig. 1, please refer to fig. 4, and the configuration update method includes the following steps S201 to S204.

S201, responding to a configuration instruction of the target application program, and outputting a configuration list of the target application program.

The target application may refer to an application that needs to update the content of the configuration item, and may specifically be a purchase management application, a financial management application, or a personnel management application. The target application may include a plurality of configuration items, each configuration item including content (i.e., configuration values). The configuration instruction refers to an instruction for acquiring updated contents of the configuration item of the target application, and the configuration instruction can be acquired through a user interface of the configuration server.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, step S201 includes steps S14-S16.

And s14, receiving a configuration instruction.

s15, in response to the configuration instruction, reading the configuration list of the target application.

s16, return the configuration list of the target application.

In steps s 14-s 16, the configuration server may display a configuration page on the user interface of the user interface layer, where the configuration page includes a configuration menu of at least one application program, and the configuration menu of the application program is an interface for calling a configuration list of the application program. And if the configuration server detects the operation of the configuration menu acting on any application program, the operated application program is a target application program, and the configuration server determines that a configuration instruction for the target application program is received. The configuration instruction may carry an identification of the target application, which may be a name or number, etc. The user interface layer sends the configuration instruction to an auxiliary control layer of the configuration server, the auxiliary control layer sends the configuration instruction to a basic core layer of the configuration server, and the basic core layer reads a configuration list of the target application program according to the identification of the target application program. The configuration list may include at least one configuration item or at least one historical baseline number; wherein the historical baseline number is used to identify a configuration set, which may include at least one configuration item. Further, the configuration list is returned to the auxiliary control layer by the basic core layer, the configuration list of the target application program is returned to the user interface layer by the auxiliary control layer, and the configuration list is output by the user interface layer. It is understood that the representation form of the configuration menu in the configuration page may be a physical key or a virtual key; the operation on the configuration menu may specifically be touch operation, cursor operation, key operation, voice operation, or the like; the touch operation can be touch click operation, touch press operation or touch slide operation, and the touch operation can be single-point touch operation or multi-point touch operation; the cursor operation can be an operation of controlling a cursor to click or an operation of controlling the cursor to press; the key operation may be a virtual key operation or a physical key operation, etc.

S202, acquiring a target configuration item from the configuration list, and acquiring the update content of the target configuration item.

The target configuration item may refer to a configuration item whose content in the configuration list is updated, the updated content of the target configuration item is obtained by editing the current content of the target configuration item, and the current content of the target configuration item refers to the content of the target configuration item before the current update. Or, the update content of the target configuration item may refer to the content corresponding to the highest version number of the target configuration item, that is, the update content of the target configuration item is the content obtained by updating the content of the target configuration item last time.

In one embodiment, the configuration list includes at least one configuration item, and if an operation on any configuration item in the configuration list is detected, the operated configuration item is determined as a target configuration item. In another embodiment, the configuration list includes at least one historical baseline number, and if a selection operation on any historical baseline number in the configuration list is detected, the target configuration item is determined according to the selected historical baseline number. After determining the target configuration item, the configuration server may obtain the updated content of the target configuration item. Specifically, the configuration server may output a content input box of the target configuration item, where the content input box includes the current content of the target configuration item, and the content input box allows the publisher to perform an editing operation on the current content of the target configuration item, and is used to receive the updated content of the target configuration item, which is edited and generated by the publisher.

S203, checking the validity of the updated content of the target configuration item.

In order to reduce the probability of failure in updating the target configuration item of the target application program in the application server and improve the accuracy and the security of the updated content of the configuration item, the configuration server may check the validity of the updated content of the target configuration item. If the verification fails, it indicates that the updated content of the target configuration item does not have validity, that is, there is error information in the updated content of the target configuration item, and may output a prompt message for prompting the publisher to edit the current content of the target application program again. If the verification passes, it indicates that the updated content of the target configuration item has validity, i.e. there is no error information in the updated content of the target configuration item, step S204 may be executed.

In one embodiment, the validity of the update content of the target configuration item may be checked through a User Interface (UI) logic of the configuration server, that is, the configuration server may check data (i.e., the update content) input by the publisher in an input box of the target configuration item, and if the check is passed and it is detected that the publisher submits the update content of the target configuration item, the configuration server may store the update content of the target configuration item, and perform step S204. And/or, the validity of the update content of the target configuration item can be checked through the background logic of the configuration server, that is, the configuration server can obtain the update content of the target configuration item submitted by the publisher and check the validity of the update content of the target configuration item. If the verification is passed, the configuration server may store the updated content of the target configuration item, and perform step S204.

And S204, if the verification is passed, updating the target configuration item of the target application program in the application server by adopting the updating content of the target configuration item.

If the verification is passed, the configuration server may update the target configuration item of the target application program in the application server with the update content of the target configuration item. An application server may refer to an application server that has installed a target application program; alternatively, the application server may refer to an application server that starts the target application program.

In one embodiment, in the process of configuring the application server, in order to avoid affecting the normal operation of the service in the application server, the application server may include an intrusive client, and the configuration server may update the target configuration item of the target application program in the application server through the intrusive client. The intrusive client is a client with a configuration function, and the intrusive client can be located at an intrusive client protocol layer of an application server.

In one embodiment, the configuration list includes a configuration item list, where the configuration item list includes at least one configuration item and a history version number corresponding to each configuration item, and step S202 includes: and acquiring the selected target configuration item in the configuration item list.

And the publisher can perform selection operation on the configuration items displayed in the configuration item list, and then determines the selected configuration items as target configuration items. The number of configuration items to be selected is not limited, and may be one or more. The selection operation herein may include, but is not limited to: click operation, key selection, cursor operation, voice operation, or the like.

The historical version number corresponding to the configuration item is used to identify the current content (i.e., historical content) of the corresponding configuration item, and the historical version number may specifically be composed of one or more of characters, numbers, symbols, and the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, step S202 includes the following steps S17-S19.

And s17, receiving a query target configuration item instruction.

s18, reading the detailed information of the target configuration item.

s19, returning the detailed information of the target configuration item.

In steps s17 to s19, the configuration item list further includes a query menu for each configuration item, and the issuer may perform a selection operation on the query menu for any configuration item shown in the configuration item list, determine the configuration item corresponding to the selected query menu as a target configuration item, and determine that an instruction for querying the target configuration item is received. The user interface layer sends the instruction to the auxiliary control layer, which sends the instruction to the base core layer, which reads the detailed information of the target configuration item, which may include the historical version number, content, etc. of the configuration item. The basic core layer sends the detailed information of the target configuration item to the auxiliary control layer, the auxiliary control layer returns the detailed information of the target configuration item to the user interface layer, and the user interface layer displays the detailed information of the target configuration item in the configuration item list.

In this implementation, after step S203, the method further includes: and if the verification is passed, adding the current version number of the target configuration item in the configuration item list.

The current version number is used for identifying the updating content of the target configuration item, the current version number can be specifically composed of one or more of characters, numbers, symbols and the like, and the historical version number of each configuration item is different from the current version number. In order to facilitate subsequent query of the content corresponding to different versions of the target configuration item, if the verification passes, the configuration server may newly add the current version number of the target configuration item in the configuration list.

In this embodiment, after step S204, the following steps S111 and S112 are also included.

And s111, acquiring the update result of the target application program by the application server.

And s112, if the update result is update failure, sending a repair instruction to the application server, where the modification instruction carries the historical version number corresponding to the target configuration item, so that the application server repairs the target configuration item of the target application program according to the repair instruction.

In steps s111 and s112, if the update result is an update failure, the target application cannot normally provide the service, and therefore, in order to ensure that the target application can normally provide the service, the configuration server may obtain the update result of the application server for the target application. If the update result is update failure, it indicates that the update content of the target configuration item is not applicable to the target application program, and may send a repair instruction to the application server, where the repair instruction carries a history version number corresponding to the target configuration item, so that the application server may repair the target configuration item of the target application program according to the content corresponding to the history version number of the target configuration item, so that the target configuration item of the target application program may be rolled back to the history version.

In another embodiment, the configuration list includes a baseline number list, the baseline number list includes at least one historical baseline number, each historical baseline number corresponds to a configuration set, and the configuration set includes at least one configuration item and a historical version number corresponding to each configuration item; step S202 includes the following steps S21 and S22:

s21, obtaining the selected target base line number in the base line number list.

s22, obtaining the target configuration item contained in the target configuration set corresponding to the target baseline number.

In steps s21 and s22, the historical baseline number may be used to identify a configuration set, and specifically, the historical baseline number is used to identify the historical content of each configuration item in the configuration set, and the historical baseline number may be composed of one or more of characters, numbers, symbols, and the like. In order to facilitate a user to quickly select a configuration item in the configuration set, the configuration server may present a baseline number list in the configuration list, and the publisher may perform a selection operation on a history baseline number in the baseline number list, where the selected history baseline number is a target baseline number. The number of the selected history baseline numbers is not limited, and may be one or more. Further, the configuration server may obtain a target configuration set corresponding to the target baseline number, and determine configuration items included in the target configuration set as target configuration items. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the configuration list includes a baseline number list 22, the baseline number list 22 includes a history baseline number 1 and a history baseline number 2, the history baseline number 1 corresponds to the configuration set 1, and the history baseline number 2 corresponds to the configuration set 2. The configuration set 1 includes

configuration items

1, 2 and historical version numbers of the configuration items, the historical version numbers of the

configuration items

1 and 2 are both V1.0, and the configuration set 2 includes configuration items 3 and historical version numbers of the configuration items 3 (i.e., V1.3). If the selection operation of the publisher on the historical baseline number 1 in the baseline number list is detected, the historical baseline number 1 is a target baseline number, and the

configuration items

1 and 2 are target configuration items.

In this implementation, as shown in fig. 7, after step S203, the method further includes: s23, if the verification is passed, adding the current baseline number corresponding to the configuration set where the target configuration item is located in the baseline number list, and adding the current version number of the target configuration item in the configuration set.

The current baseline number may be an update content for identifying each configuration item in the corresponding configuration set, and may be composed of one or more of characters, numbers, symbols, and the like, and the historical baseline number of each configuration set is different from the current baseline number. In order that the publisher can quickly query the updated content of each configuration item in the configuration set, the publisher can set a current baseline number corresponding to the configuration set where the target configuration item is located on the user interface layer, set the current version number of the target configuration item, send the current baseline number and the current version number to the auxiliary control layer by the user interface layer, add the current baseline number to the baseline number list by the auxiliary control layer, and add the current version number to the configuration set. As shown in fig. 8, when the validity checks of the updated contents of configuration item 1 and configuration item 2 pass, the configuration server may add a new configuration set, i.e. configuration set 3, to the baseline number list, where configuration item 1 and configuration item 2 are included in configuration set 3. Adding the current base line number (i.e. 3) corresponding to the configuration set 3 in the configuration set 3, increasing the current version number (i.e. V1.1) of the configuration item 1, and increasing the current version number (i.e. V1.1) of the configuration item 2. The current baseline number of the configuration set 3 is used to identify the updated content of each configuration item in the configuration set 3, i.e. if the publisher selects the baseline number 3, it indicates that the publisher selects the updated content of each configuration item in the configuration set.

In one embodiment, after step S204, the following steps S31 and S32 are also included.

And s31, obtaining the update result of the target application program by the application server.

s32, if the update result is update failure, sending a repair instruction to the application server, where the modification instruction carries the history baseline number corresponding to the target configuration item, so that the application server repairs the target configuration item of the target application program according to the repair instruction.

In steps s31 and s32, to ensure that the target application can provide the service normally, the configuration device may obtain the update result of the target application by the application server. And if the updating result is updating failure, sending a repairing instruction to the application server, wherein the repairing instruction carries the historical baseline number corresponding to the target configuration item, so that the application server can repair the target configuration item of the target application program according to the historical content corresponding to the historical baseline number of the target configuration item, and the target configuration item of the target application program can be rolled back to the historical version.

In one embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, S203 includes the following steps S41-S43.

s41, obtaining the type of the target configuration item.

And s42, checking the validity of the updated content of the target configuration item by adopting a checking rule matched with the type of the target configuration item.

s43, if the updated content of the target configuration item satisfies the check rule, the check is passed.

In steps s41 to s43, in order to improve the accuracy and security of the updated content of the target configuration item, the user interface layer may send the updated content of the target configuration item to the auxiliary control layer, and the auxiliary control layer obtains the type of the target configuration item from the base core layer, where the type of the target configuration item may include one of a string type, a number type, a boolean type, a regular expression, and the like. Further, the auxiliary control layer may verify the validity of the updated content of the target configuration item by using a verification rule matched with the type of the target configuration item to obtain a verification result, return the verification result to the user interface layer, and output the verification result by the user interface layer. If the updated content of the target configuration item does not meet the check rule, indicating that error information exists in the updated content of the target configuration item, and failing to check; if the updated content of the target configuration item meets the check rule, it indicates that no error information exists in the updated content of the target configuration item, the check is passed, and the updated content of the target configuration item is stored by the base core layer. For example, the type of the target configuration item is a number type, the check rule matching the type of the target configuration item can be used to define that the content of the target configuration item only includes a number, and the range of the number, for example, the check rule matching the type of the target configuration item defines that the content of the target configuration item must be within the range of [1, 100 ]. If the update content of the target configuration item is 102, the update content of the target configuration item is not in [1, 100], that is, the update content of the target configuration item does not satisfy the check rule, and the check fails; or if the updated content of the target configuration item comprises letters or symbols and the like, determining that the updated content of the target configuration item does not meet the check rule, and failing to check. If the update content of the target configuration item is 10, the update content of the target configuration item is in [1, 100], which means that the update content of the target configuration item satisfies the check rule, and the check is passed.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, S204 includes the following steps S51-S52.

s51, in response to the update instruction for the target application, acquiring the application server starting the target application.

s52, sending the updated content of the target configuration item to the application server (i.e. issuing a configuration update request), so that the application server updates the target configuration item of the target application program according to the updated content of the target configuration item.

If the update content of the target configuration item is sent to the application server that does not start the target application program in steps s 51-s 52, such application server cannot receive the sent update content, and cannot update the target configuration item of the target application program, which results in unnecessary waste of communication resources and reduces the efficiency of configuration update. Therefore, to improve configuration update efficiency and save communication resources, the configuration server may send only the updated content of the target configuration item to the application server that launches the target application. Specifically, a synchronization menu of the target configuration item may be included on the configuration page, and the update instruction is an instruction for synchronizing the updated content of the target configuration item to the application server, and the update instruction is generated by an operation of the publisher on the synchronization menu. And if the configuration server detects the operation of the synchronous menu of the target configuration item, confirming that the updating instruction of the target application program is received. The user interface layer may obtain an application server for starting a target application program from the auxiliary control layer, generate a configuration update request according to the update content of a target configuration item, and send the configuration update request to an intrusive client of the application server for starting the target application program, so that the intrusive client updates the target configuration item of the target application program according to the update content of the target configuration item. After the target configuration item is updated, an update result can be returned by the intrusive client.

In this embodiment, step s51 includes steps s 61-s 63 as follows.

s61, obtaining the application server set of the target application program, wherein the application server set comprises at least one application server installed with the target application program.

And s62, acquiring heartbeat information of each application server in the application server set.

s63, selecting the application server starting the target application program from the application server set according to the heartbeat information of each application server.

In steps s61 to s63, the configuration server may determine, according to a heartbeat packet reported by the application server, an application server that starts the target application program, where the heartbeat packet includes an identifier of the application server, an Internet Protocol Address (IP), a Media Access Control Address (MAC), a name of the target application program, and so on. Specifically, the configuration server may obtain heartbeat information of each application server in the application server set, where the heartbeat information may include a heartbeat frequency and/or a time for reporting the heartbeat data packet, and the heartbeat frequency refers to a number of times that the application server reports the heartbeat data packet to the configuration server within a preset time period. Further, the application server for starting the target application program can be screened from the application server set according to the heartbeat information of each application server.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 11, step s62 is preceded by acquiring, by the application server, the heartbeat data packet of the application server, where the acquiring includes: s64, obtaining attribute information of the application server and the name of the target application program, wherein the attribute information comprises the name, the physical environment and the callback address of the application server; and generating a heartbeat data packet according to the attribute information and the name of the target application program, and sending the heartbeat data packet to the configuration application server according to the preset frequency. The physical environment refers to an IP address and/or a MAC address, and the callback address is an address where the configuration server stores detailed information of the target configuration item.

In this embodiment, if the heartbeat information includes the heartbeat frequency, step s63 includes the following steps s71 and s 72.

And s71, screening out the application servers with the heartbeat frequency within the preset frequency band from the application server set.

And s72, determining the application server obtained by screening as the application server for starting the target application program.

In steps s71 and s72, generally, the heartbeat frequency of the application server is too high or too low, which indicates that the application server is abnormal, so the configuration server may screen out the application servers with heartbeat frequencies within the preset frequency band from the set of application servers, and determine the screened application servers as the application servers for starting the target application program. The preset frequency segment may be a frequency segment agreed by the configuration server and the application server, and specifically may be a frequency segment set on the configuration server by a user or a frequency segment set by the configuration server by default.

In this embodiment, if the heartbeat message includes the time for reporting the heartbeat packet, step s63 includes the following steps s81 and s 82.

s81, screening out the application server from the application server set, wherein the time interval between the time of the last heartbeat packet and the current time is less than the preset time interval.

And s82, determining the application server obtained by screening as the application server for starting the target application program.

In steps s81 and s82, if the time interval between the time when the application server last reported the heartbeat data packet and the current time is less than the preset time interval, it indicates that the application server can normally operate the target application program, and therefore, the configuration server may screen the application server from the set of application servers that the time interval between the time when the application server last reported the heartbeat data packet and the current time is less than the preset time interval, and determine the screened application server as the application server that starts the target application program.

In this embodiment, after step s52, the application server may update the configuration item of the target application, as shown in fig. 11, and the updating process includes the following steps s 53-s 56. s53, the application server receives the configuration update request from the configuration server, the configuration update request carries a configuration change package, and the configuration change package is obtained by packaging the update content of the target configuration item. And s54, analyzing the configuration change package to obtain the updated content of the target configuration item. s55, the application server checks the validity of the updated content of the target configuration item. And s56, if the verification is passed, storing the updated content of the target configuration item to the cache layer of the application server, and updating the target configuration item of the target application program by adopting the updated content of the target configuration item.

The configuration update method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the example shown in fig. 12.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the configuration server includes a configuration page 11 on the user interface, the configuration page includes configuration information of the application 1, the application 2, and the application 3, and the configuration information of the application includes configuration modification time, a configuration menu 12, and a synchronization menu 13. The configuration modification time refers to a time when a configuration item in the application program is modified recently, and the synchronization menu may refer to an interface that synchronizes the content of the configuration item of the application program to the application server. If the publisher clicks on the configuration menu of the application 1, the configuration server may output a configuration list of the application 1, where the configuration list includes a configuration item list 14, the configuration item list includes

configuration items

1, 2, 3, a search bar 10, and detailed information of each configuration item, the detailed information of the configuration item includes a history version number, a modification time, a modifier, and operation options, and the operation options include a delete option 15, a view history option 16, and a modify option 17. The search bar 10 is used for the publisher to input keywords and retrieve target configuration items associated with the keywords from the configuration item list. The view history option 16 is used to invoke history information for the configuration item, including the reviewer for each modification, the time of the modification, etc. The delete option 15 is used to delete a configuration item from the list of configuration items. The modification option 17 is used to call a system configuration management page for configuration item, and if the publisher clicks on the modification option for configuration item 1, the configuration server outputs a system configuration management page 18 for configuration item 1. The system configuration management page 18 may include a type (character string type) 19 of the configuration item 1 and a content input box 20 of the configuration item 1, where the type 19 of the configuration item 1 is used to prompt the publisher to input the updated content with validity. The configuration server may receive data input by the publisher through the content input box 20, and use the input data as the update content of the configuration item 1. Further, the validity of the update content of the configuration item 1 is checked, if the check is passed, the current version number of the configuration item 1 is generated, the current version number is V1.1, and the current version number of the configuration item 1 is added in the configuration item list. The configuration server may then retrieve the application server list 21 and synchronize the updated content of configuration item 1 to the respective application servers in the application server list 21. The application server list 21 includes an application server 1, an application server 2, and an application server 3 for starting an application program, and the application server list 21 further includes callback addresses, synchronization details, a synchronization menu, and a deletion menu of each application server. The synchronization details refer to the time when the application server has last updated the configuration, and the callback address may refer to an address where the configuration server stores the detailed information of the configuration item. And after the updated content of the configuration item 1 is sent to the application servers, each application server updates the content of the configuration item 1 of the application program 1 and returns an update result. If the result of the application server 1 is that the update fails, the configuration server may send the historical version number of the configuration item 1 (i.e. V1.0) to the application server 1, so that the application server 1 rolls back the content of the configuration item 1 of the application program 1 to the historical version.
