SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SOFTWARE APPLICATION MANAGEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To unify and automate software application management based on respective resource states belonging to an application. SOLUTION: An aspect of a management system comprises one master server and a plurality of agents. The master server can form an application by selecting some resources from a plurality of resources having been expanded and combining the selected resources one another. Then the master server can form one application package by generating an instruction to obtain the selected resources and corresponding resource states and combining the obtained resources and the resource states. Another aspect of the management system can correlate a management procedure with an application based on a resource type of each resource. Thus the application can be managed based on each resource state by carrying out the management procedure. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
