Abstract

See full text

A computer system and method restart only affected system program code levels of a computer system in response to a program code update to one or more system program code levels in the computer system. An affected system program code level may be a system program code level that is modified by a program code update, as well as a system program code level that otherwise must be restarted in response to an update to another system program code level. By restarting only affected system program code levels in response to a program code update, the time required to perform many program code updates may be reduced. As a result, the downtime for the computer system may be minimized, thereby maximizing user access to enterprise-critical computer systems.
