CONTINUOUS REPLAY OF DATABASE WORKLOAD NEAR REAL TIME WITH TRANSACTIONAL CONSISTENCY AT A FIXED INITIAL TIME DELAY USING WORKLOAD CAPTURE

摘要

A method lo continuously replay Production Database Workload in near real time using workload capture based on Network or Kernel Capture is provided. The capture of the Server workload is done using Network Capture or using Kernel drivers in a continuous round robin method. The captured data is continuously pre-processed followed by a continuous replay of that data to a Test database system, with the replay lagging the original workload by a fixed initial time delay.
