Abstract
In an approach, a processor receives input data comprising: (i) a code level for an update, (ii) a scheduled time for the update; (iii) a target system for the update, and (iv) authorization data, where the authorization data: (i) allows for scheduling of the update and (ii) is provided via a channel external from a connection to the target system without an inbound connection. A processor receives a set of data from the target system. A processor, responsive to receiving the set of data from the target system, sends a response packet to the target system that includes the input data. A processor receives, at the scheduled time, a request to process the update. A processor, responsive to the request, sends code for processing the update corresponding to the code level for the update. A processor receives status messages corresponding to progress of the update.
