Accelerated software services delivery system

摘要

A system and computer implemented method for producing a user configuration profile of a software configuration including software configuration modifications selected by a user which read by an installer engine in comparison to the software configuration allows installation of an updated software configuration including the software configuration modifications selected by the user.

主权项

1. A computer system for modifying a software configuration, comprising:
a processor; a configuration repository which stores a software configuration; a baseline configuration profile generator which creates a baseline configuration profile of said software configuration stored in said configuration repository; a user configuration profile generator including:
a user interface generator which generates a graphical user interface, said user interface capable of interaction with a user to select software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration, said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration displayed in said graphical user interface as a plurality of categorized schema, and said user interface capable of interaction with said user to select one of said plurality of categorized schema to generate a corresponding plurality of software configuration modification templates in which said user can select said software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration;a dependency engine which identifies configuration dependent schema concurrent with said user selection of said software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration by interaction of said user with said graphical user interface;a dependent schema definitions element which applies dependent schema definitions on said software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration;a dependent schema configuration generator which generates dependent schema configurations based on said applied dependent schema definitions on said software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration; anda parser which generates a user configuration profile of said software configuration including said software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration selected by said user by interaction of said user with said graphical user interface; and an installer engine which builds an installer executable by said user by interaction of said user with said graphical user interface to install said software configuration including said software configuration modifications for said baseline configuration profile of said software configuration selected by said user by interaction of said user with said graphic user interface.
