Embodiments are directed to maintaining coherence between web application versions, to maintaining proper versions between web application clients and servers and to determining whether to apply a web application update. In one scenario, a computer system receives a data request from a web application client for certain specified data. The data is indexed according to a web application schema, and the data request includes a web application client version identifier. The computer system determines that the requested data is not accessible using the web application schema, updates the web application schema to a current version of the web application schema and processes the received data request using the updated web application schema.

Automated multiple step tasks are executed on a computing device to analyze a computer system. A step engine performs a complex task such as troubleshooting, performance analysis, or disaster recovery as defined by an input file. The step engine parses the input file into individual steps and dispatches actions of the steps to another device for execution. The device returns a file with the results of the action. The step engine progresses through the list of steps and generates a log file representative of the actions taken and data collected during performance of the task.
