METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLONING DATABASE AND ASSOCIATED APPLICATION

Abstract:

A method and system for cloning a database and associated application are disclosed. A Central Server is connected to source and multiple target servers over SSH protocol. The central server has a user interface through which end user can select the target environment which needs to be cloned. central server stores configuration files containing various parameter values associated with the multiple target servers. Once, the end user selects target server, the corresponding parameter values are passed from the Configuration files to a base script stored in the central server. After collecting the parameter values, the central server dynamically generates the scripts to be executed on the source and the selected target server. Finally, the source specific script is sent to the source server and target specific scripts are sent to the target Server to clone the database and its associated application.
