Abstract

The present system and method logs global reliability, availability, and serviceability (GRAS) services data for runtime environment (RTE) systems or applications in a central repository within a distributed environment. A backup logging system and method in the event of a failure or error in the centralized logging system and method are also provided. An RTE system allows itself to self-configure and self-modify itself to designate that it has a GRAS manager for centralized logging system and method in the event of a failure or error. The RTE systems are directed to log the GRAS services data to a central repository managed and maintained by a designated GRAS manager. The GRAS manager manages and maintains the logged GRAS services data in the central repository for the RTE applications, and the GRAS manager references to access the central repository by the RTE applications for the GRAS services data that are related to respective GRAS services of the RTE applications. A shared namespace is referenced and shared by and published among the RTE applications. At least one other GRAS manager is searched for in an event of failure of the GRAS manager, and at least one other GRAS manager is designated in place of the designated GRAS manager in the event of the failure of the GRAS manager.
