1. A method comprising:
receiving a command from a requestor to copy a source application to a target system, the source application instantiated on a source computer system having an associated source operating system (OS) and the target system being a computer system having an associated target OS; determining whether the source OS is compatible with the target OS; when the source OS and the target OS are not compatible, starting a first automatic application copy process, the first automatic application copy process including:
locking the source application to prevent access thereto;analyzing the source application to identify a structure thereof;creating an equivalent structure on the target system;copying the source application to a storage device;unlocking the source application to restore access thereto; andcopying, from the storage device, the source application copy to the structure created on the target computer system.
