SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CLONING A MULTI-TIERED APPLICATION

Abstract:

A method and system of cloning a multi-tiered application is disclosed and it comprises of validating received source server configuration data against received target server configuration data. Further the data at a set of nodes on the target server is restored. The cloning of the multi-tiered application is initiated based on a set of predetermined rules, wherein the cloning comprises a set of sequential actions performed at each of the set of nodes. The method of cloning comprises of generating a set of dynamic configuration files for the set of nodes based on the predefined restore rules and the validation and also generating a set of tokens for the set of nodes to communicate status of refresh. Further the target application is restored based on the set of dynamic configuration files and the set of sequential actions at each of the set of nodes is performed based on the status of set of tokens.
