SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURING A MULTIPLATFORM COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

A system and associated method for dynamically configuring a multiplatform computing environment are disclosed. At least one service may form a workflow to be executed as an ordered group. A database contains configuration data, workflow control data, and workflow status data. A service configuration utility provides user interface to dynamically receive configuration data, to update the database, and to display contents of the database. A workflow entry process creates a workflow. A service monitor controls runtime behaviors of the system according to contents of the database. A service listener routes a workflow to associated services according to the configuration data in the database. A service executes a desired function, and then reports a result to the system monitor. The system monitor updates contents of the database to reflect the reported result.
