Abstract
Whenever complex business scenarios terminate prematurely due to an error or the unavailability of applications, the system administration is forced to react as swiftly as possible. The failure of a single component can rapidly impair the whole application infrastructure and can cause serious damage. Failures must be identified, dependencies considered and processes restarted for functional and data integrity to be regained on the business process level. We presented mechanisms for more transparency and better control so that further incidents after problems are known will be avoided. This time we will concentrate on maintenance scenarios by the use of M3DB. Maintenance scenarios for distributed application infrastructures are more complex and need a stronger and more effective integration of technical and business issues. The more maintainable a system landscape is, the higher its availability, reliability and evolvability.
