Replicating on a test server a production load of a production server. A plurality of messages representing the production load on the production server can be received from the production server. Each message can correspond to a respective client request received from a respective client. Responsive to receiving each message, in real time, data can be parsed from the message and, from the parsed data, a replicated client request corresponding to the client request can be generated, wherein the replicated client request includes state information representing a unique state formed between the production server and the respective client. The replicated client request can be communicated, in real time, to a test server in order to replicate the production load on the test server.

An approach for tracking system changes to support data maintenance within a directory service environment. Log fields are added to a directory service database for applications that interface with a directory service environment based on predetermined fields to be tracked. The log fields are updated to register database schema fields and data associated with the applications to create a history of changes. An application's identity and data access to the directory service environment are monitored and the log fields are updated to create a history of usage. The directory service database history of usage and changes are periodically analyzed to determine applications relationship dependencies and usage information. Associated maintenance actions are identified by detecting conditions in the directory service environment, based on predetermined maintenance criteria and maintenance is performed.

Ensuring data maintenance within a LDAP environment

A method of replicating on a test server a production load of a production server. The method can include creating the production load on the production server by processing client requests received from clients. The method further can include, while the client requests are processed, via a processor, in real time, replicating the production load to generate a replicated production load that represents the client requests and defines state information representing unique states formed between the production server and the respective clients. The method also can include, in real time, communicating the replicated production load in order to replicate the production load on the test server.

A system in which a plurality of performance objects are stored in computer memory, where each performance objects contains at least one input template and a corresponding optimized code path program product. A template matcher intercepts an input set destined to a directory server, and then determines a match between the intercepted input set and one of the templates. A code path selector then retrieves the corresponding optimized code path program product stored in a performance object associated with the matched template. Finally, a code processor executes the retrieved optimized code path program product on the intercepted input set, and stores the result in a tangible computer media through alteration of a physical property of the media.
